    The radius of orbit of a planet is two times that of the earth. The time period of planet is:

    A)  4.2 T             

    B)  2.8 T

    C)  5.6 T             

    D)  8.4 T

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Applying Keplers third law \[{{T}^{2}}\propto {{R}^{3}}\] Hence, \[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{R}{2R} \right)}^{3}}\] \[\frac{T}{{{T}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3/2}}\] \[{{T}_{2}}={{(2)}^{3/2}}T\] So,       \[{{T}_{2}}=28T\]
