A satellite $A$ of mass $m$ is at a distance of $r$ from the centre of the earth. Another satellite $B$ of mass $2m$ is at a distance of $2r$ from the earth's centre. Their time periods are in the ratio of
$1:2$
$1:16$
$1:32$
$1:2\sqrt 2 $

Mass of the satellite does not effects on time period
$\frac{{{T_A}}}{{{T_B}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}} \right)^{3/2}} = {\left( {\frac{r}{{2r}}} \right)^{3/2}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{8}} \right)^{1/2}} = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}$
