Two satellites $s_1$ and $s_2$ of equal masses revolve in the same sense around a heavy planet in coplanar circular orbits of radii $R$ and $4R$. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The ratio of the period of revolution of $s_1$ and $s_2$ is $1 : 8$.
  • B
    Their velocities are in the ratio $2 : 1$.
  • C
    The ratio of angular velocities of $s_2$ with respect to $s_1$ when all three are in the same line is $9 : 5$.
  • D

$A$ large spherical mass $M$ is fixed at one position and two identical point masses $m$ are kept on a line passing through the centre of $M$ (see figure). The point masses are connected by a rigid massless rod of length $\ell$ and this assembly is free to move along the line connecting them. All three masses interact only through their mutual gravitational interaction. When the point mass nearer to $M$ is at a distance $r = 3\ell$ from $M$,the tension in the rod is zero for $m = k\left(\frac{M}{288}\right)$. The value of $k$ is
