Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that the time period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length. On the other hand, the frequency and period are inversely proportional. Thus, the frequency and length are inversely proportional. So, to increase the frequency, we must decrease the length. Thus, the penguin's bow tie should be decreased in length.
