If the distance between the earth and the sun were half its present value, the number of days in a year would have been

A

`64.5`

B

`129`

C

`182.5`

D

`730`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`T prop r^(3//2), T' prop (r//2)^(3//2)`
`(T')/T=(1/2)^(3//2)=1/(2sqrt(2))`
`T'=T/(2sqrt(2))=365/(2sqrt(2))=365/(2xx1.4)=365/2.8=130 days`
