If the distance between two masses is doubled, the gravitational force becomes:

  1. Half
  2. Double
  3. One-fourth
  4. Four times

Answer: One-fourth

Newton's law: F ∝ 1/r². Doubling distance (r→2r) reduces force to F/4. Inverse-square law applies to gravity, light intensity, etc. [[NCERT Physics Class 11]]
