In a binary star system one star has thrice the mass of other. The stars rotate about their common centre of mass then :

A pair of stars rotates about their centre of mass One of the stars has a mass M and the other has mass m such that M =2m The distance between the centres of the stars is d (d being large compared to the size of either star) .
