\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{\text { Vescape }=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}} .\\ \\&\mathrm{=\sqrt{\frac{2 G}{R} \times \rho \times \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}}} \end{aligned}

\mathrm{\text { Vescape } \alpha \; R \; \sqrt{\rho}}

\mathrm{\frac{(\text { Vescape })_{B}}{(\text { Vescape })_{A}}=\frac{R_{B} \sqrt{\rho_{B}}}{R_{A} \sqrt{\rho_{A}}}=\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{4}}

                                                    =1

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
