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. M1R1=M2R2 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
