A spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is V. Due to the rotation of the planet about its axis the acceleration due gravity g at equator is `1//2` of g at poles. The escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of V from the pole of the planet is

A

`V_e = 2V`

B

`V_e = V`

C

`V_e = V//2`

D

`V_e = sqrt(3)V`
