Solution

The correct option is D the sum of their masses
The force of gravitation between the two bodies =GMmr2

Where G is gravitational constant

r is separation between the two bodies

M is mass of one body

m is mass of the other body


From the above expression we can easily see that the force doesn't depend on the sum of the masses of the bodies


Hence correct answer is option D
