    The distances of two planets (Neptune and Saturn) from the sun are \[1013\,\,m\] and \[1012\,\,m\] respectively. Find the ratio of the time periods of the planets.

    A) \[100:1\]           

    B)        \[1:\sqrt{10}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{10}:1\]   

    D)        \[10\sqrt{10}:1\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[{{d}_{neptune}}={{10}^{13}}m;\,\,{{d}_{Saturn}}={{10}^{12}}m\] \[{{T}^{2}}\propto {{R}^{3}}\]          (Kepler?s 3rd law) \[\frac{{{T}_{N}}}{{{T}_{S}}}={{\left( \frac{{{10}^{13}}}{{{10}^{12}}} \right)}^{3}}={{\left[ 10 \right]}^{3}}=\frac{{{T}_{neptune}}}{{{T}_{saturn}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1000}{1}}\] \[\frac{{{T}_{neptune}}}{{{T}_{saturn}}}=10\sqrt{10}:1\]
