Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect The escape velocity on the earth surface is ve=√2gR where g= acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface and R= radius of the earth.
We know that the radius of Jupiter is 11 times of the earth's radius and acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is around 2.36 times of acceleration due to gravity on earth's surface. Thus, the escape velocity from the Jupiter is more than that from earth's surface.
