    Select the correct statements.
    (a) A simple harmonic motion is necessarily periodic.
    (b) A simple harmonic motion is necessarily oscillatory.
    (c) An oscillatory motion is necessarily periodic.
    (d) A periodic motion is necessarily oscillatory.
    digAnsr:   a,b
    Ans : (a) A simple harmonic motion is necessarily periodic.
    (b) A simple harmonic motion is necessarily oscillatory.
    A periodic motion need not be necessarily oscillatory. For example, the moon revolving around the earth.
    Also, an oscillatory motion need not be necessarily periodic. For example, damped harmonic motion.
