Solution

Dear Student,Let m1 and m2 be the two maases separated by a distance r.Initial gravitational force is,Fi=Gm1m2r2..........1Now both of the masses are tripled.The new force becomes,Ff=G×3m1×3m2r2=9×Gm1m2r2=9Fi ..............From 1Gravitational force will become 9 times the initial value.Regards.
