On the basis of dimensions, decide which of the following relations for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is/are not correct.

(a)  \(y = a\sin \left(2\pi t / T\right)\)
(b)  \(y = a\sin(vt)\)
(c)  \(y = \left({\dfrac a T}\right) \sin \left({\dfrac t a}\right)\)
(d)  \(y = a \sqrt 2 \left(\sin \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right) - \cos \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right)\right)\)

(Symbols have their usual meanings.)
Choose the correct option:

1. (a), (c)
2. (a), (b)
3. (b), (c)
4. (a), (d)
