Question

Consider two satellites A and B. Both move around the earth in the same orbit but the mass of B is twice that of the mass of A.

Easy

Solution

Since orbital velocities are independent of the mass of satellites and only depends on the radius of orbits, they are equal for both A and B.
The kinetic energy of a satellite depends on the mass of the satellite. Hence, it differs for satellite A and B.
