The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet mm about the sun S.S. The shaded area SCDSCD is twice the shaded area SAB.SAB. If t1t1 is the time for the planet to move from CC to DD and t2t2 is the time to move from AA to B,B, then:
1. | t1>t2t1>t2 | 2. | t1=4t2t1=4t2 |
3. | t1=2t2t1=2t2 | 4. | t1=t2t1=t2 |

1. | vPrP=vArAvPrP=vArA | 2. | vArP=vPrAvArP=vPrA |
3. | vAvP=rArPvAvP=rArP | 4. | none of these |
