Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} v_{e} = \sqrt{(\frac{2 GM}{R})} where M = \frac{4}{3} {πR}^{3} d \\ ∴ v_{e} = \sqrt{(\frac{8 {GπR}^{3} d}{3 R})} = \sqrt{(\frac{8 {GπR}^{2} d}{3})} \\ = \sqrt{(\frac{8 πGd}{3})} R \propto R \end{array}$
Now $\frac{(v)_{earth}}{{(v_{e})}_{planet}} = \frac{(R)_{earth}}{(R)_{planet}}$
$\frac{11}{v_{e}} = \frac{R}{2 R} or v_{e} = 22 km / \sec$
