Answer Key : (b) -

(b)

Gravitational force due to solid sphere,

where  and  are mass of the solid sphere and particle respectively and  is the radius of the sphere. The gravitational force on particle due to sphere with cavity = force due to solid sphere creating cavity, assumed to be present above at that position

So, 



Next Question :

The escape velocity of a body from earth’s surface is . The escape velocity of the same body from a height equal to  from earth’s surface will be

a)

b)

c)

d)
