JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 25th February Morning Shift - No. 18)

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : The escape velocities of planet A and B are same. But A and B are of unequal mass.

Reason R : The product of their mass and radius must be same. M1R1 = M2R2

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
A is correct but R is not correct
A is not correct but R is correct

Explanation

$${v_e}$$ = escape velocity

$${v_e} = \sqrt {{{2GM} \over R}} $$

so for same $${v_e},{{{M_1}} \over {{R_1}}} = {{{M_2}} \over {{R_2}}}$$

A is true but R is false
