An artificial satellite is revolving around a planet of radius $R$ in a circular orbit of radius $a$. If the time period of revolution of the satellite $T \propto a^{3/2} g^x R^y$,then the values of $x$ and $y$ are respectively. [Note: $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet.]

  • A
    $1, 1/2$
  • B
    $1/2, 1$
  • C
    $-1/2, 1/2$
  • D
    $-1/2, -1$
