The escape velocity of a satellite from ...

The escape velocity of a satellite from the surface of a planet is `sqrt(2)` times the orbital velocity of the satellite. If the ratio of the masses of two given planets is 1 : 4 and that of their radii is 1 : 2, respectively, then find the ratio of escape velocities of a satellite from the surfaces of two planets.
