The gravitational potential energy of a particle at the center of the earth is -(3/2)(GMm/R)

And that at the surface is (GMm/R)

Since Ve=(2* Gravitational Potential )1/2. Then at Surface it is (2*GM/R)1/2

At the Center it is  (2*3/2*GM/R)1/2=(3*GM/R)1/2

Then The ratios of the Escape velocity is Ve1 (at Center)/Ve (at Surface) =(3/2)1/2

So the Correct Option is  (A)
