The mass density of a spherical body is given by $\rho(r) = \frac{k}{r}$ for $r \leq R$ and $\rho(r) = 0$ for $r > R$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre. The correct graph that describes qualitatively the acceleration,$a$,of a test particle as a function of $r$ is

$A$ spiral galaxy can be approximated as an infinitesimally thin disc of uniform surface mass density located at $z=0$. Two stars $A$ and $B$ start from rest from heights $2z_{0}$ and $z_{0}$ (where $z_{0} \ll$ radial extent of the disc),respectively,and fall towards the disc,cross over to the other side,and execute periodic oscillations. The ratio of the time periods of $A$ and $B$ is
