$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a velocity $v = k V_{e}$ $(k < 1)$ from the surface of the earth. $(V_{e} = \text{escape velocity})$. The maximum height above the surface reached by the particle is:

  • A
    $R \left( \frac{k^2}{1-k^2} \right)$
  • B
    $R \left( \frac{k}{1+k} \right)^2$
  • C
    $\frac{R^2 k}{1+k}$
  • D
    $\frac{R k^2}{1-k^2}$
