Take the mean distance of the moon and the sun from the earth to be 0.4 xx 10^(6) km and 150 xx 10^(6) km respectively. Their masses are 8 xx 10^(22) kg and 2 xx 10^(30) kg respectively. The radius of the earth of is 6400 km . Let DeltaF_(1) be the difference in the forces exerted by the moon at the nearest and farthest points on the earth and DeltaF_(2) be the difference in the force exerted b the sun at the nearest and farthest points on the earth. Then, the number closest to (DeltaF_(1))/(DeltaF_(2)) is :
