Q2.

A planet of mass $m$ moves in an elliptical orbit around the Sun of mass $M$. Let $r_1$ be the distance at aphelion and $r_2$ be the distance at perihelion. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the planet at these points, then ratio of kinetic energy at aphelion to kinetic energy at perihelion is

(A)
$\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}$
(B)
$\dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$
(C)
$\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}$
(D)
$\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$
