If the distance between the earth and the sun becomes `1//4th` of its present value, then its period of revolution around the sun will become

A

330 days

B

129 days

C

365 dyas

D

45.6 days

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

`T_(2)=T_(1)r^(3//2)`
`=365((1)/(4))^(3//2)=365xx(1)/(8)="45.6 days"`
