  1. b

    Gravitational attraction is proportional to the product of the two masses. The products are 6, 9, 6, so 9 is the highest.

    .


  2. The gravity force depends of the masses of both objects (m1 and m2) and of the distance D between them :

    F = G . m1 . m2 / (D^2)     (G = constant)

    So if the distance is the same, only the objects where m1.m2 is the biggest, will have the largest force!!!

    So thats answer B !!!
