Solution

The correct option is C 2(r1r2)2MmMs×100
During total eclipse ,Total attraction due to sun and moon F1=GMsMer21+GMmMer22
When moon goes on the opposite side of earth.Effective force of attraction,F2=GMsMer21GMmMer22
Change in force,F=F1F2=2GMmMer22
Change in acceleration of earth a=FMe=2GMmr22
Average force on earth,Fav=FavMe=GMsr21
Percentage change in acceleration =aaav×100=2GMmr22×r21GMs×100
=(r21r22)2×MmMs×100
