A spherical uniform planet is rotating about its axis. The velocity of a point on its equator is $V.$ Due to the rotation of planet about its axis the acceleration due to gravity $g$ at equator is $1/2$ of $g$ at poles. The escape velocity of a particle on the planet in terms of $V.$

  • A

    $V_e = 2V$

  • B

    $V_e = V$

  • C

    $V_e = V /2$

  • D

    $V_e =\sqrt{3} V$
