JEE Main 8 April 2024, Shift 1, Physics Q38

Question 38 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 8 of 30, Section A.

Two planets A and B having masses m1m_1 and m2m_2 move around the sun in circular orbits of r1r_1 and r2r_2 radii respectively. If angular momentum of A is LL and that of B is 3L3L, the ratio of time period (TATB)\left(\frac{T_A}{T_B}\right) is:
  1. (1)127(m2m1)3\frac{1}{27}\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^3Official answer
  2. (2)27(m1m2)327\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)^3
  3. (3)(r1r2)3\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3
