    If the distance between two bodies is increased by 25%, then the % change in the gravitational force is

    A)  Decreases by 36%          

    B)  Increases by 36%

    C)  Increases by 64%           

    D)  Decreases by 64%

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      \[F\propto \frac{1}{{{d}^{2}}},d'=d+\frac{25d}{100}=\frac{125d}{100}\] \[\frac{F'}{F}=\frac{{{d}^{2}}}{{{d}^{12}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{d}^{2}}}{{{\left( \frac{125d}{100} \right)}^{2}}}=\frac{F'}{F}\Rightarrow \] \[F'=\frac{100}{{{25}^{2}}}=0.64\] \[(or)\,\,F'=64%\,F\] i.e., Force decrease by 36%.
