The radii of two planets are respectively R1 and R2 and their densities are respectively ρ1 and ρ2. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is

a
g1:g2=ρ1R12:ρ2R22
b
g1:g2=R1R2:ρ1ρ2
c
g1:g2=R1ρ2:R2ρ1
d
g1:g2=R1ρ1:R2ρ2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Acceleration due to gravity g=43πρGR∴ g1:g2=R1ρ1:R2ρ2
