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 \(90 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~km}\) and \(60 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~km}\), respectively. The ratio of velocities of the planet at the points \(A\) and \(B\) when its velocities make angle \(30^{\circ}\) and \(60^{\circ}\) with major-axis of the orbit is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
