In case of an orbiting satellite if the radius of orbit is decreased

1.	In case of an orbiting satellite if the radius of orbit is decreased
Answer» its KINETIC energy decreases its potentia energy increases Both (a) and (b) are correct Both (a) and (b) are wrong Solution :As kinetic energy, `K=(GMM)/(2r)` Potentialm energy, `U=-(GMm)/(R)` Total energy, `E=-(GMm)/(2r)` If `r` is decreased, K will increase but U and E will DECREASE.
