A triple star system consists of two stars each of mass m in the same circular orbit about central star with mass `M=2xx10^(33)kg`. The two outer stars always lie at opposite ends of a diameter of their common circular orbit the radius of the circular orbit is `r=10^(11)` m and the orbital period each star is `1.6xx10^(7)s` [take `pi^(2)=10` and `G=(20)/(3)xx10^(-11)Mn^(2)kg^(-2)`]
Q. The mass m of the outer stars is:

A

`(11)/8xx10^(30)`
