Let the speed of the planet at the perihelion \(P\) in figure shown below be \(v_{_P}\) and the Sun-planet distance \(\mathrm{SP}\) be \(r_{_P}.\) Relation between \((r_{_P},~v_{_P})\) to the corresponding quantities at the aphelion \((r_{_A},~v_{_A})\) is:

1. \(v_{_P} r_{_P} =v_{_A} r_{_A}\) 2. \(v_{_A} r_{_P} =v_{_P} r_{_A}\)
3. \(v_{_A} v_{_P} = r_{_A}r_{_P}\) 4. none of these
