Answer #1

Force between two masses seperated by distance R is given by;

F = Gm1m2/R^2

so if we change the masses by say m3 and m4 so it will change to

F= Gm3m4/R^2

By duplicate I am considering it as you are exchanging the masses so the force will be same as before and if you change it by some other factor so force will change.
