A

2.828 years

B

3.285 years

C

1.234 years

D

5.234 years

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `r_(2)-2r_(1)` and time pero9d `T_(1)=365` days
According too kepler third law `T_(1)^(2) prop r_(1)^(3)` and `T_(2)^(2) prop r_(2)^(3)`
`therefore (T_(2)^(2))/(T_(1)^(2))=(r_(2)^(3))/(r_(1)^(3))` or `(T_(1)^(2))=(r_(2))/(r_(1))`
`rarr T_(2)=T_(1)xx2xx1.414=2.828` years
