Options:
  • A $6 \mathrm{~A}_{1}=3 \mathrm{~A}_{2}=2 \mathrm{~A}_{3}$
  • B $3 A_{1}=2 A_{2}=A_{3}$
  • C $2 \mathrm{~A}_{1}=3 \mathrm{~A}_{2}=6 \mathrm{~A}_{3}$

The correct answer is: $3 A_{1}=2 A_{2}=A_{3}$
By Kepler's second law of motion,
$\frac{A_{1}}{t_{1}}=\frac{A_{2}}{t_{2}}=\frac{A_{3}}{t_{3}}$
$\frac{A_{1}}{2}=\frac{A_{2}}{3}=\frac{A_{3}}{6}$
$\frac{3 A_{1}}{6}=\frac{2 A_{2}}{6}=\frac{A_{3}}{6}$
$3 A_{1}=2 A_{2}=A_{3}$
