The figure shows the elliptical orbit of a planet m about the sun S. The shaded area SCD is twice the shaded area SAB. If t1 is the time for the planet to move from C to D and t2 is the time to move from A to B, then:
                     

1. t1>t2 2. t1=4t2
3. t1=2t2 4. t1=t2

Two planets orbit a star in circular paths with radii R and 4R, respectively. At a specific time, the two planets and the star are aligned in a straight line. If the orbital period of the planet closest to the star is T, what is the minimum time after which the star and the planets will again be aligned in a straight line?

1. (4)2T 2. (4)13T
3. 2T 4. 8T
