Two spherical bodies of mass $M$ and $5M$ and radii $R$ and $2R$ are released in free space with initial separation between their centres equal to $12R.$ If they attract each other due to gravitational force only,then the distance covered by the smaller body before collision is (in $R$)

$A$ very long (length $L$) cylindrical galaxy is made of uniformly distributed mass and has radius $R$ $(R << L)$. $A$ star outside the galaxy is orbiting the galaxy in a plane perpendicular to the galaxy and passing through its centre. If the time period of the star is $T$ and its distance from the galaxy's axis is $r$,then:
