The correct answer is:
\( T \propto \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{G M}} \)
When the satellite is moving in circular orbit after launching the satellite, then centripetal force should be equal to the gravitational force,
where are universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet, the mass of satellite and height where the satellite is projected,
Now the time period of the satellite,
