Detailed Solution

The fastest possible rate of rotation of a planet is that for which the gravitational force on  a body at the equator just barely provides the centripetal force needed for the rotation.  Let M be the mass and R be the radius of the planet and m is the mass of a body on its surface.
Then, 
mRW2max=GMmR2Wmax=GMR3(OR)Wmax=GR3*43πR3P=4GPπ3=2πGP3Tmin=2πWmax=3πGPβ=3
