Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If the length of a simple pendulum increases by \(4\text{%},\) the percentage change in the time period is \(2\text{%}.\)
Reason (R): The time period of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is \(20\text{ m/s}^2\) at a distance of \(5\text{ m}\) from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is:
1. \(2\pi \text{ s}\)
2. \(\pi \text{ s}\)
3. \(2 \text{ s}\)
4. \(1 \text{ s}\)
