Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun is proportional to the third power of the average distance between sun and planet i.e., .
Here is constant. If the masses of sun and planet are and respectively then as per Newton's law of gravitation force of attraction between them is
, here is gravitational constant.
The relation between and is described as:

The relation between and is described as:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Here gravitational force is equal to centripetal force required for motion of planet.
Hence,
Time period is given by,
We have given,
On comparing,
