potential energy = m g' h  .........................(1)
where m is mass , g' is gravitational acceleration of the planet and h is distance above surface of planet.
 
g' = G M' /R2 = (5 G M) / R2 = 5 g = ( 5 × 10 ) m/s2 = 50 m/s2
 
where G is gravitational constant , M' is mass of the planet which is 5 times of mass of earth
 
hence potential energy = 2 × 50 × 2  = 200 J
