Many planets are revolving around the fixed sun in circular orbits of different radius `(R)` and difference time period `(T)` To estimate the mass of the sun the orbital radius `(R)` and time period `(T)` of planets were noted. Then `"log"_(10)` T v/s `"log"_(10)R` curve was plotted.
The curve was found to be approximately straight line (as shown in) having y intercept `=6.0` (Neglect the gravitational interaction among the planets) [Take `G = (20)/(3) xx 10^(-11)` in MKS, `pi^(2)= 10`]

The slope of the line should be .

A

`1`

B

`(3)/(2)`

C

`(2)/(3)`

D

`(19)/(4)`
