Q.

An isolated triple star system consists of two identical stars, each of mass m and a fixed star of mass M. They revolve around the central star in the same circular orbit of radius r. The two orbiting stars are always at opposite ends of a diameter of the orbit. The time period of revolution of each star around the fixed star is equal to:
