    The mass of a planet is six times that of the earth. The radius of the planet is twice that of the earth. If the escape velocity from the earth is \[v,\]then the escape velocity from the planet is

    A) \[\sqrt{3}\,v\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{2}\,v\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{5}\,v\]

    D)  \[\sqrt{12}\,v\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Escape velocity from the earth \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}\] For a given planet \[{{v}_{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{2G(6M)}{2R}}=\sqrt{3}{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{3}v\]
