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,$M_{1}R_{1} = M_{2}R_{2}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

$A$ body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of the earth with a velocity equal to half the escape velocity. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,the maximum height attained by the body from the surface of the earth is
