The radii of circular orbits of two satellite `A` and `B` of the earth are `4R` and `R`, respectively. If the speed of satellite `A` is `3v`, then the speed of satellite `B` will beA. `3 V//4`B. `6 V`C. `12 V`D. `3 V//2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Orbital velocity of a satellite, `upsilon = sqrt((GM)/(r ))`
`:. upsilon^(2) xx r = GM =` constant
`:. (3V)^(2) xx 4R = V_(B)^(2) xx R`
`V_(B) = sqrt(36V^(2)) = 6V`
