Three students $S_{1}, S_{2}$ and $S_{3}$ perform an experiment for determining the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of pendulum and record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are as shown in the table.

Student No. Length of pendulum $(cm)$ No. of oscillations $(n)$ Total time for oscillations Time period $(s)$
