The ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on two planets $P_1$ and $P_2$ is $K_1$. The ratio of their respective radii is $K_2$. The ratio of their respective escape velocities is

  • A
    $\sqrt{K_1 K_2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2 K_1 K_2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{K_1}{K_2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{K_2}{K_1}}$
