Consider a binary star system consisting of two stars of masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ separated by a distance of $30 \text{ AU}$ with a period of revolution equal to $30 \text{ years}$. If one of the two stars is $5$ times farther from the centre of mass than the other, find the masses of the two stars in terms of solar masses.

  • A
    $5, 15$
  • B
    $25, 5$
  • C
    $25, 10$
  • D
    $7, 25$
