A planet is revolving around the Sun as shown in the figure. The radius vectors joining the Sun and the planet at points A and B are
and
, respectively. The ratio of velocities of the planet at the points A and B when its velocities make angle
and
with major-axis of the orbit is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
As there is no external torque on planet, angular momentum
of a planet is constant.

Putting values of given quantities, we get
