Figure shows elliptical path \(abcd\) of a planet around the sun \(S\) such that the area of triangle \(csa\) is \(\frac {1}{4}\) the area of the ellipse. (See figure) With \(db\)  as the semimajor axis, and  \(ca\) as the semiminor axis. If \(t_1\)  is the time taken for planet to go over path \(abc\) and \(t_2\) for path taken over \(cda\) then

  1. A \(t_1 = 4t_2\)
  2. B \(t_1 = 2t_2\)
  3. C \(t_1 = 3t_2\)
  4. D \(t_1 = t_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(t_1 = 3t_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let area of ellipse abcd \(=x\) Area of \(SabcS\) \( = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{4}\,\left( {i.e.,\,ar\,of\,abcd + SacS} \right)\) \(\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(Area\,of\,half\,ellipse + Area\,of\,triangle)\) \( = \frac{{3x}}{4}\)…
