A planet is revolving in an elliptical orbit around the sun. Its closest distance from the sun is r and the farthest distance is R. If the velocity of the planet nearest to the sun be v and that farthest away from the sun be V. then v/V is

A

`x//y`

B

`y//x`

C

`x^(2)//y^(2)`

D

`y^(3)//x^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`v_("max")r_("min")=v_("min")r_("max")`
`ux=vy`
`therefore" "(v)/(u)=(x)/(y)`
