    A) 2

    B)               \[\sqrt{2}\]

    C)             \[1/\sqrt{2}\]   

    D)             \[\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{2}\,{{v}_{0}},\] i.e. if the orbital velocity of moon is increased by factor of \[\sqrt{2}\] then it will escape out from the gravitational field of earth.
