The displacement of a particle varies with time according to the relation $x = a \sin \omega t + b \cos \omega t$.

  • A
    The motion is simple harmonic motion with an amplitude $\sqrt{3} \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
  • B
    The motion is simple harmonic motion with an amplitude $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
  • C
    The motion is periodic but not simple harmonic motion
  • D
    The motion is simple harmonic with an amplitude $(a^2 + b^2)$
