A force F produces an acceleration a in a body. The same force produce...
According to the Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the change in momentum of a body per unit time is directly proportional to the unbalanced force acting on the body and the change in momentum takes place in the direction of the unbalanced force of the body. It can be represented as F = ma. From the equation we can see that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration so if the acceleration of the body increases by 4 times, the mass of the body will reduce by 4 times.

A force F produces an acceleration a in a body. The same force produce...
**Explanation:**
Let's assume the first body has mass m1 and the second body has mass m2.
**Newton's Second Law:**
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on a body is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration.
Mathematically, it can be represented as:
F = m * a
where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
**Given Information:**
In the first body, the force F produces an acceleration a.
In the second body, the same force F produces an acceleration 4a.
**Solution:**
We can write the equations for the first body and the second body as follows:
For the first body:
F = m1 * a
For the second body:
F = m2 * (4a)
Comparing the two equations, we can see that the force F is the same in both cases. Therefore, we can equate the two equations:
m1 * a = m2 * (4a)
Simplifying the equation:
m1 = 4m2
This equation shows that the mass of the first body (m1) is four times the mass of the second body (m2). Therefore, the correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.
**Conclusion:**
The correct answer is option B - the mass of the second body is four times less than the mass of the first body.

It will be 1/4 th of first body.... Not four times less the mass of other body....
