The largest and the shortest distance of the earth from the sun is `r_1` and `r_2`. What will be its distance from the sun when it is at perpendicular to the major axis of the orbit drawn from the sun?

A

`(r_1 + r_2)/2`

B

`(r_1 + r_2)/4`

C

`(r_1 + r_2)/(r_1 - r_2)`

D

`(2r_1 r_2)/(r_1 + r_2)`
