Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.
