Two satellites P and Q are moving in different circular orbits around the Earth (radius 𝑅). The heights of P and Q from the Earth surface are β„ŽP and β„ŽQ, respectively, where β„ŽP = 𝑅/3. The accelerations of P and Q due to Earth’s gravity are 𝑔P and 𝑔Q, respectively. If 𝑔P/𝑔Q = 36/25, what is the value of β„ŽQ? (A) 3𝑅/5 (B) 𝑅/6 (C) 6𝑅/5 (D) 5𝑅/6
