JEE MAIN - Physics (2025 - 4th April Evening Shift - No. 9)

An object is kept at rest at a distance of $3 R$ above the earth's surface where $R$ is earth's radius. The minimum speed with which it must be projected so that it does not return to earth is : (Assume $\mathrm{M}=$ mass of earth, $\mathrm{G}=$ Universal gravitational constant)
$\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{2 \mathrm{R}}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{R}}}$
