The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is the same as that at the surface of the earth,but the density of the planet is thrice that of the earth. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,the radius of the planet will be:

  • A
    $\frac{R}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{3}$
  • C
    $3 R$
  • D
    $9 R$
