As shown in figure, each mass experiences three forces namely F, F and F, Hence, F= force between two masses at R separation.
As the all particles move in the circular path of radius R due their mutual gravitational attraction.
Then net force on mass m = mass x centripetal acceleration
F2+F2+F=mv2R

F2+F=mv2R

2Gm2(R2)2+Gm24R2=mv2R

GmR14+12=v2

v=12GmR(1+22)
