Two satellites `A` and `B` of equal mass move in the equatorial plane of the earth, close to earth's surface. Satellite `A` moves in the same direction as the of the rotation of the earth while satellite `B` moves in the opposite direction. Calclate the ratio of the kinetic energy of `B` of that of `A` in the reference frame fixed to the earth `(g=9.8ms^(-2)` and radius of the earth `=6.37xx10^(6)km)`

A

`((8363)/(7437))^(2)`

B

`((7437)/(8363))^(2)`

C

`((8363)/(7437))`

D

`((7437)/(8363))`
