Eight point masses each of mass m are kept fixed at equal

Eight point masses each of mass m are kept fixed at equal distance on a circle of radius R as shown Now if any one of them is taken very slowly from this position to infinity by performing W amount of work For next time the amount of work performed W upon another point mass which is diametrically opposite to previous one is again taken from its position to infinity very slowly are related as A W W B W W C W W D W W Gm 2R Gm 2R Gm 2R 8 10 R N 3
