PhysicsNEET 2023Gravitational potential and potential energy

Gravitation

Two bodies of mass $m$ and $9 m$ are placed at a distance $R$ . The gravitational potential on the line joining the bodies, where the gravitational field equals zero, will be ( $G$ = gravitational constant):

A. $- \frac{8 G m}{R}$
B. $- \frac{12 G m}{R}$
C. $- \frac{16 G m}{R}$ ✓
D. $- \frac{20 G m}{R}$

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
