The mass of a planet is six times that of the earth. The radius of the planet is twice that of the earth. If the escape velocity from the earth is $V_{e}$,then the escape velocity from the planet is:

Is it necessary to provide an initial speed of $11.2 \, km/s$ to a rocket launched from Earth?

If Earth has a mass nine times and radius twice that of planet $P$, then $v_e / (3 \sqrt{x}) \text{ ms}^{-1}$ is the minimum velocity required by a rocket to escape the gravitational force of planet $P$, where $v_e$ is the escape velocity on Earth. The value of $x$ is:

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

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ For a planet,if the ratio of mass of the planet to its radius increases,the escape velocity from the planet also increases.
