The escape velocities of the two planets...

The escape velocities of the two planets, of densities `rho_1` and `rho_2` and having same radius, are `v_1` and `v_2` respectively. Then

A

`(v_1)/(v_2)=(rho_1)/(rho_2)`

B

`(v_2)/(v_1)=(rho_2)/(rho_1)`

C

`(v_1)/(v_2)=((rho_1)/(rho_2))^2`

D

`(v_1)/(v_2)=sqrt((rho_1)/(rho_2))`
