A comet is in elliptical orbit around the sun. In this orbit the comet's smallest distance from the sun is `72xx10^(6)m` and its largest distance from the sun is `144xx10^(6)m`. The ratio of comet's maximum speed to the minimum speed in the orbit is(Neglect the presence of all bodies other than the sun and comet).
