A satellite is revolving round the earth in a circular orbit of radius `r` and velocity `upsilon_(0)`. A particle is projected from the satellite in forward direction with relative velocity `upsilon = (sqrt(5//4) - 1) upsilon_(0)`. Calculate its minimum and maximum distances from earth's centre during subsequent motion of the particle.

A

Total energy of particle is `-(3GM_(e)m)/(8a)`

B

minimum distance of particle from the earth is a

C

maximum distance of particle from the earth is `5a//3`

D

The maximum kinetic energy is `(5)/(8)(GM_(a)m)/(a)`
