Consider a binary star system consisting of two stars of masses `M_(1)` and `M_(2)` separated by a distance of `30AU` with a period of revolution equal to 30 years. If one of the two stars is 5 times farther from the centre of mass than the other, show that the masses of the two stars are 5 and 25 times that of the sun.
