A
A
B
B
C
C
D
D
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
OPTION B is the correct answer because gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two bodies according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
\( F_g = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\)
