    The mass of moon is 1% of mass of earth. The ratio of gravitational pull of earth on moon and that of moon on earth will be

    A)  1 : 1                                      

    B)  1 : 10

    C)  1 : 100                                 

    D)  2 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From Newtons law of gravitation, the force due to gravitational attraction is given by \[F=G\frac{Mm}{{{r}^{2}}}\] where M is mass of earth, m the mass of the other body, and r the distance between the two. Hence, moon and earth attract each other with equal gravitational force. Hence ratio is 1 : 1.
