The mass of a planet is six times that of the earth. The radius of the planet is twice that of the earth. If the escape velocity from the earth is $V_{e}$,then the escape velocity from the planet is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{3} V_{e}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} V_{e}$
  • C
    $V_{e}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{5} V_{e}$
