Question
Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the
universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them.
The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Mathematically, it can be written as
GMm
F =
According to this law, force of attraction from larger on smaller mass is
m
M
Equal to the force from smaller mass on larger mass
Larger than the force from smaller mass on larger mass
There is no information to answer this question
O Smaller than the force from smaller mass on larger mass

Step 1

Given , 

Mathematically  the force of attraction between two objects of masses M and m is given as 

F = GMm/r2 

Where G is gravitational constant 

And r is separation between the center of the objects M and m  

Let FmM is the force acting on mass m due to mass M 

And 

FMn is the force acting on mass M due to mass m
