Distance between the centres of two starts is 10a . The masses of these stars are M  and 16M  and their radius a and 2a respectively. A body of mass m  is fired straight from the surface of the larger star towards the surface of the smaller star. Now if its minimum initial speed to reach the surface of the smaller star in terms of G, M and a is 32βGMa, then find value of β.
