Two planets have radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ and densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ respectively. Find the ratio of the acceleration due to gravity on these planets.

  • A
    $R_1 \rho_1 : R_2 \rho_2$
  • B
    $R_1 \rho_2 : R_2 \rho_1$
  • C
    $R_2 \rho_1 : R_1 \rho_2$
  • D
    $R_2 \rho_2 : R_1 \rho_1$
