A particle of mass `m` is thrown upwards from the surface of the earth, with a velocity `u`. The mass and the radius of the earth are, respectively, `M` and `R`. `G` is gravitational constant `g` is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth. The minimum value of `u` so that the particle does not return back to earth is

A

`sqrt(2gR^(2))`

B

`sqrt((2GM)/(R^(2)))`

C

` sqrt((2GM)/R)`

D

`sqrt((2gM)/(R^(2)))`
