Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
When the distance is reduced to 1/4th,
Using the formula of gravitational force,
          = G Mmr2
Where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the mass of the object (given) and is the distance between them (given).
 F =GMm((1/4 r)2 
       F =16 G (Mm)r2
      F =16 F
The force between the two objects becomes 16 times .
