Two planets P1 and P2 orbit a star S in elliptical orbits with semi-major axes a1 and a2 respectively, where a1 > a2. If T1 and T2 are their respective periods, and at some point both planets are simultaneously at their respective aphelia, after how many periods of P1 will they simultaneously be at their respective aphelia again?
After one period of P1.
When is a rational number, represented as (p and q are co-prime integers), it will be after 'p' periods of P1.
After 'q' periods of P2.
They will never be simultaneously at their aphelia again unless .
