Planet A has mass M and radius R. Planet B has half the mass and half the radius of planet  A. If the escape velocities from the planets A and B are uAanduB respectively , then uAuB=n4 . The value of n is

a
3
b
2
c
1
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Escape Velocity =Ve=2GMR      ​⇒VAVB=MAMB×RBRA​⇒VAVB=MM2×R2R   ​⇒VAVB=1−−−1​⇒VAVB=n4Given −−−−2  ​⇒from 1 and 2 we get ⇒n=4
