Question

Second relatively massive star (Polaris B) is known to share an orbit in the same stellar system with the main star that we know as Polaris (Polaris A). Together the two stars actually orbit around a common centre of gravity that exists between them (they orbit in a sychronized way). What is the amount of time it takes for the two stars (together) to make 1 orbit around this common centre of gravity?
