A geostationary satellite is orbiting the earth at a height of $6\,R$ above the surface of  earth ($R$ is the radius of earth). The time period of another satellite at a height of $2.5\,R$ from the surface of the earth is :-

  • A

    $3 \sqrt 2 \,hour$

  • B

    $6 \sqrt 2\, hour$

  • C

    $6\, hour$

  • D

    $72\, hour$
