Solution

The correct option is C 83 minutes
For first earth satellite close to the surface of the earth,
r1=R, T1=83 min
Another earth satellite in an orbit at a distance of the earth radius from the surface,
r2=R, T2=?
The time period, T2=T1(r2r1)3/2
T2=T1(1)3/2
T2=T1=83 min
The correct option is A.
