a
Kepler's law of areas still holds
b
Kepler's law of period still holds
c
Kepler's law of areas and period still hold
d
Neither the law of areas, nor the law of period still holds

detailed solution

Correct option is D

F=GMmr3 mv2r=GMmr3 v=GMr2=GMr T=2πrV=2πrGMr=2πr2GM T2=4π2r4GM Both the kepler  laws does not hold good
