Two planets, \(A\) and \(B\) are orbiting a common star in circular orbits of radius \(R_A\) and \(R_B\), respectively, with \(R_B=2 R_A\). The planet \(B\) is \(4 \sqrt{2}\) times more massive than planet \(A\). The ratio \(\left(\frac{L_B}{L_A}\right)\) of angular momentum \(\left(L_B\right)\) of planet \(B\) to that of planet \(A\left(L_A\right)\) is closest to integer ________.

  1. A 10
  2. B 7
