Physics Question on Energy in simple harmonic motion

The amplitude of a particle executing SHM is 3cm3 \,cm The displacement at which its kinetic energy will be 25%25 \% more than the potential energy is:_______ cmcm

Answer

The correct answer is 2.
KE=PE+4PE​
KE=45​PE
21​mω2(A2−x2)=45​×21​mω2x2
[v=ωA2−x2​]
A2−x2=45​x2
49x2​=A2
x=32​A
∴x=32​×3cm
x=2cm
