The time period of a geostationary satellite is $24 \; h$,at a height $6 R_{E}$ ($R_{E}$ is the radius of the Earth) from the surface of the Earth. The time period of another satellite whose height is $2.5 R_{E}$ from the surface will be:

  • A
    $6 \sqrt{2} \; h$
  • B
    $12 \sqrt{2} \; h$
  • C
    $\frac{24}{2.5} \; h$
  • D
    $\frac{12}{25} \; h$
