Sound propagates by transferring energy from one particle of the medium to the other.
So when the medium particles will be close to each other (i.e. density of the medium is increased) the energy transfer will be faster and speed of sound will increase (this we see as speed of sound is zero in vacuum, having no energy carriers).
This implies that speed of sound must be proportional to density of the medium.

But in the expression v=sqrt (gP/r) speed of sound ‘v’ is inversely proportional to the density ‘r’ of the medium, and directly proportional to ‘g’(gamma) and pressure ‘P’.

Please explain.
