Masses and radii of earth and moon are $M_1,\, M_2$ and $R_1,\, R_2$ respectively. The distance between their centre is $'d'$ . The minimum velocity given to mass $'M'$ from the mid point of line joining their centre so that it will escape

  • A

    $\sqrt {\frac{{4G\left( {{M_1} + {M_2}} \right)}}{d}} $

  • B

    $\sqrt {\frac{{4G}}{d}\frac{{{M_1}{M_2}}}{{({M_1} + {M_2})}}} $

  • C

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2G}}{d}\left( {\frac{{{M_1} + {M_2}}}{{{M_1}{M_2}}}} \right)} $

  • D

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2G}}{d}\left( {{M_1} + {M_2}} \right)} $
