If the amplitudes of a damped harmonic oscillator at times $t=0, t_1$ and $t_2$ are $A_0, A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively, then the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of $(t_1+t_2)$ is

  • A
    $\frac{A_0+A_1+A_2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{A_2 A_0}{A_1}$
  • C
    $\frac{A_1 A_0}{A_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{A_1 A_2}{A_0}$
