Explain the motion of a planet around the sun in a circular path?

A trinary star system which is a system of three orbiting around centre of mass of system has time peroid of 3 years, while the distance between any two stars of the system is 2 astronomical unit. All the three stars are identical and mass of the sun is M and total mass of this multiple star system is (a)/(b)xxM . Then find (b)/(3) ? (a and b are lowest possible integers (I astronomical unit is equal to distance between sun and earth, time period of rotation of earth around sun is 1year)

  • Assertion: The motion of the earth around the sun is perriodic but not oscillatory. Reason: Oscillatory motion is necessarily periodic but periodic motion is not necessarily oscillatory.

    A
    If both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
    C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
    D
    If both assertion and reason are false.
