$A$ body is projected vertically upward from the surface of the earth of radius $R$ into space with velocity $n V_e$ (where $n < 1$ and $V_e$ is the escape velocity). The maximum height from the surface of the earth to which the body can reach is

  • A
    $\frac{n^2 R}{(1 - n^2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{n^2 R^2}{(1 - n)}$
  • C
    $\frac{nR^2}{(1 + n^2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{n^2 R^2}{(1 + n)}$
