Consider a binary star system of star A and star B with masses mA and mB revolving in a circular orbit of radii rA and rB, respectively. If TA and TB are the time period of star A and star B, respectively, then:
Consider a binary star system of star A and star B with masses mA and mB revolving in a circular orbit of radii rA and rB, respectively. If TA and TB are the time period of star A and star B, respectively, then:
Option 1 -
TA = TB
Option 2 -
TA > TB (if mA > mB)
Option 3 -
Option 4 -
TA > TB (if rA > rB)

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:Since binary mass system performs circular motion about is common centre of mass, so
Similarly we can show that
Hence their angular velocity will be same, time period will be same, i.e. TA = TB
