Solution

The correct options are
B $\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} = 2$
C $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{3}} = 3$

$E = \frac{G M}{R^{2}}$ $= \frac{G (\frac{4}{3} π R^{3} ρ)}{R^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow E \propto R$

$\Rightarrow \frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} = \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}$ $= 2$

$\Rightarrow (A)$ is not true

$\frac{E_{1}}{E_{3}} = \frac{R_{1}}{R_{3}}$ $= 3$

$\Rightarrow (B)$ is true

$v = \sqrt{g R} \Rightarrow v α R$

$\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}} = \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = 2$

$\Rightarrow (C)$ is true

$\frac{v_{1}}{v_{3}} = \frac{R_{1}}{R_{3}} = 3$

$\Rightarrow (D)$ is not true
