$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the Earth with a velocity sufficient enough to carry it to infinity. The time taken by it to reach height $h$ is $....\,S.$

The mass of a planet is half that of the Earth and the radius of the planet is one-fourth that of the Earth. If we plan to send an artificial satellite from the planet,the escape velocity will be (escape velocity on Earth $v_e = 11 \ km \ s^{-1}$): (in $km \ s^{-1}$)

The escape speed of a projectile on the earth's surface is $11.2 \; km/s$. $A$ body is projected out with thrice this speed. What is the speed (in $km/s$) of the body far away from the earth? Ignore the presence of the sun and other planets.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A :$ The escape velocities of planet $A$ and $B$ are same. But $A$ and $B$ are of unequal mass.
Reason $R :$ The product of their mass and radius must be same,$M_{1}R_{1} = M_{2}R_{2}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The escape velocity of an object on a planet whose $g$ value is $9$ times that of Earth and whose radius is $4$ times that of Earth in $km/s$ is:
