The radii of two planets are respectively `R_(1) and R_(2)` and their densities are respectively `rho_(1) and rho_(2)`.The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surface is

A

`r_(1)rho_(1):r_(2)rho_(2)`

B

`r_(1)rho_(1)^(2):rho_(2)rho_(2)^(2)`

C

`r_(1)^(2)rho_(1):r_(2)^(2)rho_(2)`

D

`r_(1)rho_(2):r_(2)rho_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`g=(GM)/(r^(2))=G4/3(r^(3)rho)/(r^(2))=G4/2pir rho`
`(g_(1))/(g_(2))=(r_(1)rho_(1))/(r_(2)rho_(2))`
