Two masses $90 \ kg$ and $160 \ kg$ are separated by a distance of $5 \ m$. The magnitude of the intensity of the gravitational field at a point which is at a distance $3 \ m$ from the $90 \ kg$ mass and $4 \ m$ from the $160 \ kg$ mass is (Universal gravitational constant,$G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ N \ m^2 \ kg^{-2}$)
