Detailed Solution

Given that, as per question, mA = 2mB and rA = 2rB
Let, Mass of the sun = M
Force of gravitation between A to the sun, FAs = GMmA(rA)2
Force of gravitation between B to the sun, FBs = GMmB(rB)2
On dividing both A and B, we get
 FAs FBs  = mAmB × rBrA = 2mBmB × rB2rB = 12
So, the force of gravitation between A to the sun and B to the sun is 1:2.
