Explain the principle of superposition for gravitational force.

Two point masses $A$ and $B$ having masses in the ratio $4 : 3$ are separated by a distance of $1\, m$. When another point mass $C$ of mass $M$ is placed in between $A$ and $B$,the gravitational force between $A$ and $C$ is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the gravitational force between $B$ and $C$. Then the distance of $C$ from $A$ is:
