उत्तर
The given sentence is right.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. When the distance is doubled, the gravitational force decreases to one-fourth `1/4` of its original strength. Because `1/4` is clearly less than the original force, the statement that the new force is “less than the previous force” is correct.
