A planet has twice the radius but the mean density is `1/4` th as compared to earth. What is the ratio of escape velocity from earth to that from the planet

A

`3:1`

B

`1:2`

C

`1:1`

D

`2:1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`(v_(rho_(2)))/(v_(rho_(1)))=(R_(2))/(R_(1))sqrt((rho_(2))/(rho_(1)))=2xxsqrt((1)/(4))=2xx(1)/(2)=1`
`(v_(rho_(2)))/(v_(rho_(1)))=(1)/(1)`
