The magnitudes of gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the centre of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. Then-

  • A

    $\frac{{{F_1}}}{{{F_2}}} = \frac{{{r_1}}}{{{r_2}}}$ if $r_1 < R$ and $r_2 < R$

  • B

    $\frac{{{F_1}}}{{{F_2}}} = \frac{{{r_2^2}}}{{{r_1^2}}}$ if $r_1 < R$ and $r_2 < R$

  • C

    All the above

  • D

    None of the above
