Given below are two statements:
Statement $I :$ $A$ second's pendulum has a time period of $1$ second.
Statement $II :$ It takes precisely one second to move between the two extreme positions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In a simple pendulum,the breaking strength of the string is double the weight of the bob. The bob is released from rest when the string is horizontal. The string breaks when it makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical.

$A$ simple pendulum with a bob of mass $40 \ g$ and charge $+2 \ \mu C$ makes $20$ oscillations in $44 \ s$. $A$ vertical electric field of magnitude $4.2 \times 10^4 \ NC^{-1}$ pointing downward is applied. The time taken by the pendulum to make $15$ oscillations in the electric field is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $s$)
