Two planets have the same average density but their radii are R1R _ { 1 } and R2R _ { 2 }. If acceleration due to gravity on these planets be g1g _ { 1 } and g2g _ { 2 } respectively, then

A

g1g2=R1R2\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 1 } } { R _ { 2 } }

B

g1g2=R2R1\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 2 } } { R _ { 1 } }

C

g1g2=R12R22\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } } { R _ { 2 } ^ { 2 } }

D

g1g2=R13R23\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 1 } ^ { 3 } } { R _ { 2 } ^ { 3 } }

Answer

g1g2=R1R2\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 1 } } { R _ { 2 } }

Explanation

Solution

g=43πρGRg = \frac { 4 } { 3 } \pi \rho G R . If ρ\rho = constant then g1g2=R1R2\frac { g _ { 1 } } { g _ { 2 } } = \frac { R _ { 1 } } { R _ { 2 } }
