A body is projected from the earth's surface with a speed $\sqrt{5}$ times the escape speed $\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{e}}\right)$. The speed of the body when it escapes from the gravitational influence of the earth is

• Correct answer
  A

  $2 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}$
• B

  $V_e$
• C

  $3 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}$
• D

  $5 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{e}}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
