Two planets,$A$ and $B$,orbit around a star such that the time period of $A$ is $8$ times the time period of $B$. The ratio of the orbital velocities of planets $A$ and $B$ is:

  • A
    $4: 1$
  • B
    $1: 4$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D

$A$ planet revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. When it is closest to the Sun,its distance from the Sun is $d_1$ and its velocity is $v_1$. When it is farthest from the Sun,its distance from the Sun is $d_2$. What is its velocity at that point?

Two satellites $A$ and $B$ revolve around the same planet in coplanar circular orbits. Their periods of revolution are $1\, h$ and $8\, h$,respectively. The radius of the orbit of $A$ is $10^{4}\, km$. The speed of $B$ relative to $A$ when they are closest is (in $km/h$):
