Two planets $A$ and $B$ have densities $\varrho_1$ and $\varrho_2$ and have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity on $A$ to that of $B$ is:

  • A
    $r_1: r_2$
  • B
    $r_1 \varrho_1: r_2 \varrho_2$
  • C
    $r_1^2 \varrho_1: r_2^2 \varrho_2$
  • D
    $r_1 \varrho_2: r_2 \varrho_1$
