The radii of two planets are respectively $R_1$ and $R_2$ and their densities are respectively ${\rho _1}$ and ${\rho _2}$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is

  • A

    ${g_1}:{g_2} = \frac{{{\rho _1}}}{{R_1^2}}:\frac{{{\rho _2}}}{{R_2^2}}$

  • B

    ${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{R_2}:{\rho _1}{\rho _2}$

  • C

    ${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{\rho _2}:{R_2}{\rho _1}$

  • D

    ${g_1}:{g_2} = {R_1}{\rho _1}:{R_2}{\rho _2}$

$Assertion$ : The escape speed does not depend on the direction in which the projectile is fired.
$Reason$ : Attaining the escape speed is easier if a projectile is fired in the direction the launch site is moving as the earth rotates about its axis.
