The figure shows the elliptical path of a planet about the sun. The two shaded parts have equal area. If \(t_1\) and \(t_2\) be the time taken by the planet to go from a to b and from c to d respectively, then:

              

1. \(t_1<t_2\)
2. \(t_1=t_2\)
3. \(t_1>t_2\)
4. insufficient information between \(t_1\) and \(t_2\)
