Question diagram
A

2Gml-\frac{2Gm}{l}

B

32Gml-\frac{3\sqrt{2}Gm}{l}

C

22Gml-\frac{2\sqrt{2}Gm}{l}

D

42Gml-\frac{4\sqrt{2}Gm}{l}

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The potential at the center due to the mass configuration is calculated by summing the potentials due to each mass. Using symmetry and the given configuration, the potential is -\frac{4\sqrt{2}Gm}{l}.
