Answer: gravitational force between them will be reduced by one - fourth ( 1/4) of its initial value.

Explanation: Gravitational force between two bodies obeys inverse square law. That is, gravitational force between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two bodies.

When the mammoth is at a distance that is twice the original distance, the gravitational force between them will be reduced by one - fourth ( 1/4 ) of its initial value.
