An infinite number of bodies, each of mass \(2\) kg are situated on the \(x\text-\)axis at distances \(1 m, ~2m, ~4m, ~8m, \ldots \ldots .\)respectively, from the origin. The resulting gravitational potential due to this system at the origin will be:
1.  \(-\frac{8}{3}{G}\) 2. \(-\frac{4}{3} {G}\)
3.  \(-4 {G}\) 4. \(-{G}\)
