Detailed Solution

We have the force due to gravity given by,

F=GMmR2

(i) The mass of one object is doubled

F1=GM2mR2 = 2F

So, if one mass say is doubled, then the force gets doubled
 

(ii) The distance between the objects is doubled and tripled

F1=GMm2R2F4
 

If the distance is tripled, then the force will be,

F1=GMm3R2F9
 

(iii) The masses of both objects are doubled

F1=G2M2mR2 = 4F
