The radii of two planets are respectively $R_1$ and $R_2$ and their densities are respectively $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$. The ratio of the accelerations due to gravity at their surfaces is

  • A
    $g_1:g_2 = \frac{\rho_1}{R_1^2}:\frac{\rho_2}{R_2^2}$
  • B
    $g_1:g_2 = R_1R_2:\rho_1\rho_2$
  • C
    $g_1:g_2 = R_1\rho_2:R_2\rho_1$
  • D
    $g_1:g_2 = R_1\rho_1:R_2\rho_2$
