(FALSE) False.
The value of $G$ is the Universal Gravitational Constant, which is approximately $6.673 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N m}^2/\text{kg}^2$.
It is a fundamental constant of nature and does not depend on the mass, distance, or the medium between the two objects.

The gravitational force between two objects is $F$. If the masses of both objects are halved without changing the distance between them,then the gravitational force would become:

Two objects of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ having the same size are dropped simultaneously from heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. Find out the ratio of time they would take in reaching the ground. Will this ratio remain the same if $(i)$ one of the objects is hollow and the other one is solid and $(ii)$ both of them are hollow,size remaining the same in each case. Give reason.
