It gives us  r_0 =1.2m  r=0.2m  m=1kg  t=?  Do you remember formula?  g(r)=(r/t^2 )⇒t=(√(r/(g(r)))) (1)because the balls will  fall into each other. Also g(r)=G(m/r^2 ) (2).  Introducing (1) in (2) after using some algebra  t=(√(r^3 /(Gm))) (r=0.2m) So use this formula.  There is another complicated way that  requires differential. I showed you a  simple way.
