A body of mass  $m$  falls from a height  $R$  above the surface of the earth, where $R$  is the radius of the earth. What is the velocity attained by the body on reaching the ground? (Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is $g$ )

  • A

    $gR$

  • B

    $\sqrt {gR}$

  • C

    $\sqrt {g/R}$

  • D

    $g/R$
