Step 1: For a circular orbit, v = √(GM/r), L = m√(GMr), K = GMm/(2r), U = -GMm/r, E = -GMm/(2r), and T = 2π√(r³/GM). Step 2: Form the ratio or energy change using the given radii/masses. Step 3: Simplify to the requested value. Final: D: Ratio of total energy will be 4 but ratio of potential and kinetic energies will be 2.
