    We cannot conclude anything about the acceleration due to gravity on Planet A without knowing the radii of the two planets.

    Explanation:

    This is so because

    acceleration due to gravity (g) = Gm/r²

    Where G = Newton's gravitational constant

    = 6.67 x 10-11 N * m2 / kg2.

    m = mass of the planet (in kg)

    r = radius of the planet (in m)
