a
g will increase
b
g will decrease
c
Escape velocity will remain unchanged
d
Potential energy will remain unchanged

detailed solution

Correct option is B

g=GMR2,ve=2GMR and U=−GMmR∴g∝MR2,ve∝MR and U∝MRIf both mass and radius are increased by 0.5% then ve and U remains unchanged where as g decrease by 0.5%.
