Option: 1

KR


Option: 2

\left ( K^{2}+1 \right )R


Option: 3

Answer (4)

Applying energy conservation

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}+\left [ -\frac{GMm}{R} \right ]=-\frac{GMm}{r}

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}m.K^{2}.\frac{2GM}{R}-\frac{GMm}{R}=-\frac{GMm}{r}\frac{R}{R}

\Rightarrow K^{2}-1=\frac{-R}{r}

\Rightarrow r=\frac{R}{1-K^{2}}
