Detailed Solution

First let us find the point (say) C between A and B where field strength due to 400kg and 100kg masses is zero. Let its distance from 400kg is r.

Then,   G(400)r2=G(100)(10-r)2

                         r=203m

and         (10-r)=103m

So, we have to move the body only from A to C. After that 100kg mass will pull 1kg mass by its own.

 Minimum kinetic energy =ΔU=UC-UA

                                         =mVc-VA

                                         =(1)-40020/3-10010/3+1008+40026.67×10-11
