Assertion : Four point masses each of ma...

Assertion : Four point masses each of mass `m` are placed at points 1, 2, 3 and 6 of a regular hexagon of side a. Then the gravitational field at the centre of hexagon is `(Gm)/(a^(2))`

Reason : The field strength due to masses at 3 and 6 are cancelled out.
