Two satellites $A$ and $B$ revolve around the same planet in coplanar circular orbits. Their periods of revolution are $1\, h$ and $8\, h$,respectively. The radius of the orbit of $A$ is $10^{4}\, km$. The speed of $B$ relative to $A$ when they are closest is (in $km/h$):

  • A
    $3 \pi \times 10^{4}$
  • B
    zero
  • C
    $2 \pi \times 10^{4}$
  • D
    $\pi \times 10^{4}$

$A$ satellite revolving around the earth at a certain height experiences acceleration due to gravity equal to $\frac{16}{49} g_0$,where $g_0$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface. If $R$ is the radius of earth,then the square of time period of the satellite's revolution is equal to $K\left[\frac{\pi^2 R^3}{G M}\right]$. The value of $K$ is
