Detailed Solution

The time period of revolution of the given planet is 2 years.
From Kepler’s law of orbits we have
 T2r3
Where T represents time period and r represents orbital radius.
Where T1 is the time period of revolution of the given planet and r1 is the mean distance between the planet and the sun. TE is the time period of revolution for the earth and rEis the radius of the earth.
(T1TE)2 =(r1rE)3
Given,  TE=1 year, r1=1.588 rE
Then,
T12=1.5883;
T1=1.58832
 T1=2  years
