The radius of a planet is twice the radius of the Earth. Both have almost equal average mass densities. If $V_P$ and $V_E$ are the escape velocities of the planet and the Earth respectively,then:

  • A
    $V_{E}=1.5 V_{P}$
  • B
    $V_{P}=1.5 V_{E}$
  • C
    $V_{P}=2 V_{E}$
  • D
    $V_{E}=3 V_{P}$
