    Orbital Time Period is 24 years

    Explanation:

    This can be explained by the definition of time period.

    Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

    Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

    Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.
