The masses of two fixed spheres are $M$ and $2M$ and the radius of each sphere is $R$. Their centres are $10R$ apart. The minimum speed with which a particle of mass $\frac{M}{10}$ be projected from the mid-point of the line joining the centres of the two spheres so that it escapes to infinity is . . . . . . .

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{6 GM}{7 R}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{7 GM}{5 R}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{5 GM}{6 R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{6 GM}{5 R}}$
