A body of mass m rises to height = R/5 from the earth's surface, where R is earth's radius. If g is acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface, the increase in potential energy is

a
mgh
b
45mgh
c
56mgh
d
67mgh

detailed solution

Correct option is C

ΔU=mgh1+h​/​R Substituting R=5h we get ΔU=mgh1+1​/​5=mgh5+15=56mgh
