Solution
The correct option is A T Time period of satellite which is very near to planet T=2π√R3GM=2π√R3G43πR3ρ ∴T∝√1ρ i.e. time period of nearest satellite does not depends upon the radius of planet, it only depends upon the density of the planet. In the problem, density is same so time period will be same.
