Three point masses are attached by light inextensible strings of various lengths to a point O on the ceiling. All of the masses swing round in horizontal circles of various radii with the same angular frequency `omega` (one such circle is drawn in the shown figure.) Then pick up the correct statement.

A

The vertical depth of each mass below point of suspension from ceilling is different.

B

The raduis of horizontal circular path of each mass is same.

C

All masses revolve in the same horizontal plane.

D

All the particles must have same mass.

For conical pendulum of length l , mass m moving along horizontal circle as shown
`T cos theta= mg .....(1)`
` T sin theta=m omega^(2)l sin theta.......(2)`
From equation (1) and equation (2) , `l cos theta=g/(omega^(2))`

`l cos theta` is the vertical distance of bob below O point of suspension. hence if `omega` of all three pendulums are same, they shall revolve in same horizontal plane.
Alternate:
If we remember that time period T of conical pendulum is
`T=2pisqrt(L/g)` where L is the vertical depth of bob below point of suspension. if T is same for three pendulums even L shall be also same. hence all three particles shall revolve in same horizontal plane.
