Question

There are two bodies of masses 100 kg and 10000 kg separated by a distance 1 m. At what distance from the smaller body, the intensity of gravitational field will be zero?

$\frac{1}{9} m$
$\frac{1}{10} m$
$\frac{1}{11} m$
$\frac{10}{11} m$

The correct answer is: $1 over 11 m$

m₁ = 100 kg, m₂ = 10000 kg
For gravitational field at P to be zero,
