If two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses $M$ are situated in air at a distance $d$ and the gravitational force between them is $F$. Now,$50 \%$ of the mass is transferred from body $A$ to $B$ and the distance between them is reduced to $\frac{d}{2}$. If the space around them is now filled with a liquid of specific density $3$,what will be the new gravitational force?

  • A
    $F$
  • B
    $3 F$
  • C
    $\frac{3 F}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 F}{4}$

Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be $0.4 \times 10^6 \, km$ and $150 \times 10^6 \, km$ respectively. Their masses are $8 \times 10^{22} \, kg$ and $2 \times 10^{30} \, kg$ respectively. The radius of the earth is $6400 \, km$. Let $\Delta F_1$ be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest points on the earth and $\Delta F_2$ be the difference in the force exerted by the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then,the number closest to $\frac{\Delta F_1}{\Delta F_2}$ is
