    A) Its speed is maximum

    B) Time period of its rotation is minimum

    C) The total energy of the earth plus satellite system is minimum

    D) The total energy of the earth plus satellite system is maximum

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Speed \[=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}},\] Tine period \[=\left( \frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}} \right){{r}^{3/2}},\]Total energy \[=-\frac{GMm}{2r}\]
