A star is bieng orbited by a planet P such that the planet rotates around itself once every 0.1 earth days. It is observed that P completes 196 rotations around itself by the time it completes 1 revolution around S.

The star completes 196 rotations for 1 revolution around the star S.
So, the revolution period with respect to Earth hours is 196 × 2.4 = 470.4 hours
Now, if one Earth day is 24 hours long, then the revolution period w.r.t Earth days is
