The mass of the earth is $81$ times that of the moon and the radius of the earth is $3.5$ times that of the moon. The ratio of the escape velocity on the surface of earth to that on the surface of moon will be

Escape velocity ${v_e} = \sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}} $

$\frac{{{v_e}}}{{{v_m}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{M_e}{R_m}}}{{{M_m}{R_e}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{81}}{{3.5}}} = 4.81$
