g= (G* M)/r^2

For Planet A:                                                        For Planet B:    

r=x/2  m                                                                      r=x m

mass=M                                                                    mass= y

g1= (G*M)/(x/2)^2                                                    g2=(G*y)/x^2

   

g1=g1/2

(G*M)/(x/2)^2=((G*y)/x^2)/2

(G*M*4)/x^2=G*y/2x^2

M*4=y/2

y=M*4*2

y=8M

Hence, mass of planet B must be 8M kg.
