A planet is revolving around the sun as shown in elliptical path. The correct option is

A

The time taken in travelling DAB is less than that for BCD

B

The time taken in travelling DAB is greater than that for BCD

C

The time taken in travelling CDA is less than that for ABC

D

The time taken in travelling CDA is greater than that for ABC

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
During path DAB planet is nearer to sun as comparision with path BCD. So time taken in travelling DAB is less than that for BCD because velocity of planet will be more in region DAB.
