A rocket is launched normal to the surface of the Earth, away from the Sun, along the line, joining the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is $3 \times 10^{5}$ times heavier than the Earth and is at a distance $2.5 \times 10^{4}$ times larger than the radius of the Earth. The escape velocity from Earth's gravitational field is $v_{e} = 11.2 k m / s$ . The minimum initial velocity $(v_{s})$ required for the rocket to be able to leave the Sun-Earth system is closest to $($ Ignore the rotation and revolution of the Earth and the presence of any other planet $)$
