[tex] \small \fbox{\sf Option C, D and E are the correct answer.}[/tex]

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between any two masses is given by the formula,

[tex]F = G \frac{m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where,

  • F is force of attraction between masses,
  • m1 is mass of object 1 say planet,
  • m2 is mass of object 2 say moon,
  • r is the distance separating the planet and moon.

From above relation we can conclude that,

  1. Gravitational force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses of each object.
  2. Gravitational force of attraction is inversely proportional to the distance separating the planet and moon.

Hence, the greatest amount of gravitational force between a planet and it's moon would be largest when,

  1. The mass of the planet is large.
  2. The mass of the moon is large.
  3. The distance separating the planet and moon is small.

Option C, D and E are the correct answer.
