The radii of a planet and its satellite ...

The radii of a planet and its satellite are 2r and r and their densities are `rho` and `2rho` respectively. Their centres are separated by a distance d. The minimum speed with which a body should be projected from the mid point of the line joining their centres so that the body escapes to infinity is (G-universal gravitational constant)
