# Two spheres with different masses, \( m \) and \( M \), are separated by a distance \( d \) between their centers. If the gravitational field strength due to the sphere of mass \( M \) at the position of the center of the sphere with mass \( m \) is \( X \), what is the field strength due to the sphere of mass \( m \) at the position of the center of the sphere of mass \( M \)? Select TWO answers.

Two spheres with different masses, \( m \) and \( M \), are separated by a distance \( d \) between their centers. If the gravitational field strength due to the sphere of mass \( M \) at the position of the center of the sphere with mass \( m \) is \( X \), what is the field strength due to the sphere of mass \( m \) at the position of the center of the sphere of mass \( M \)? Select TWO answers.

- **A.** \[ G \frac{m}{d^{2}} \]
- **B.** \[ G \frac{M}{d^{2}} \]
- **C.** \[ \frac{M}{m} X \]
- **D.** \[ \frac{m}{M} X \]
