Assertion: Two different planets have sa...

Assertion: Two different planets have same escape velocity.
Reason: Value of escape velocity is a universal constant.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

As escape velocity `=sqrt((2GM)/R)`, so its value depends on mass of planet and radius of the planet. The two different planets have same escape velocities, when these quantities (mass and radius) are equal.
