An object is kept at rest at a distance of $3R$ above the earth's surface,where $R$ is the earth's radius. The minimum speed with which it must be projected so that it does not return to earth is (Assume $M =$ mass of earth,$G =$ Universal gravitational constant).

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Earth has an atmosphere,whereas the Moon does not have any atmosphere.
Reason $R$: The escape velocity on the Moon is very small compared to that on the Earth.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If the radius of a planet is $R$ and its density is $\rho$,the escape velocity from its surface will be

The radius and mean density of a planet are four times that of the Earth. The ratio of the escape velocity on the Earth to the escape velocity on the planet is:

The escape velocity for the Earth is $11 \ km/s$. The escape velocity for a planet having twice the radius and the same density as the Earth is .......... $km/s$.
