Detailed Solution

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects that is given by:
F =G.m1m2R 2
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies, R is the distance between them and G is the universal gravitation constant.

In this problem, 
m1=m , As the spheres, are identical.

F=G.m2R2

Mass of spher =Density(ρ) X volume

F=G(43πR3ρ)2(2R)2

F=G(43πρ)2.R64R2
