no ans is 200N because gravitational force is inversly proportional to the square of distance . thus gravitational force increse and becomes two times
but thanks for giving ur support

Answer:I guess it will help
Explanation:
Force on the stone acting on the earth =100N so,
F=G M1 M/d^2 =100N
Mass on the a heavenly body =1/2M=1/2*100=50N
The force reduced 50N now,
The value of force increases by factor of 4 because of the reciprocal of<1/2>^2 so,
Force on heavenly body on the stone =4*50 =200N
