Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ [T^{2}\propto R^{3}] $

Þ $ [{{\left( \frac{T_{P}}{T_{E}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{R_{P}}{R_{E}} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{2R_{E}}{R_{E}} \right)}^{3}}] $

Þ $ [\frac{T_{P}}{T_{E}}={{(2)}^{3/2}}=2\sqrt{2}] $ Þ $ [T_{P}=2\sqrt{2}\times 365=1032.37] $ = 1032 days
