Solution

The correct option is B 136 times
The gravitational force, F between two bodies, m1 and m2 seperated by distance d is given by, F=G m1m2d2, where G is the universal gravitational constant.
F1d2
So, if the distance between the two bodies becomes 6 times the usual, the force of gravity between them would be 162 = 136 times the usual.
