Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$ .

Assertion $A$ : The escape velocities of planet $A$ and $B$ are same. But $A$ and $B$ are of unequal mass.

Reason $R$ : The product of their mass and radius must be same. $M_{1} R_{1} = M_{2} R_{2}$ In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
