Question 139 of 223

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason RR.
Assertion
AA : The escape velocities of planet AA and BB are same. But AA and BB are of unequal mass.
Reason
RR: The product of their mass and radius must be same. M1R1=M2R2{M}_{1}{R}_{1}={M}_{2}{R}_{2} In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) AA is correct but RR is not correct

Ve=2GMR{V}_{e}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}
M1R1=M2R2\dfrac{{M}_{1}}{{R}_{1}}=\dfrac{{M}_{2}}{{R}_{2}}
M1R2=M2R1{M}_{1}{R}_{2}={M}_{2}{R}_{1}
Hence reason
RR is not correct.
