The magnitude of the gravitational field at distance r1 and r2 from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius R and mass M are F1 and F2 respectively then
This question has multiple correct options
A
(F1/F2)=(r1/r2) if r1<R and r2<R
B
(F1/F2)=(r1/r2)2 if r1>R and r2>R
C
(F1/F2)=(r1/r2) if r1>R and r2>R
D
(F1/F2)=(r1/r2)2 if r1<R and r2<R

Correct options are A) and B)
F∝r(r<R) F∝r21(r>R) F2F1=r2r1 if r<R and F2F1=(r1r2)2 if r>R Hence (A) and (B) are correct.
