Solution

Dear student, as we know that force is directly proportional to product of masses of two bodies, hence when masses are halved, the force of attraction will decrease 4 times that is force of attraction will become one fourth times the original force. And in the second statement the force of attraction will increase by a factor of 16 that is force of attraction is 16 times the original force. Thanks and regards
