How does a twin rack missile launcher, increase range?

I confused it with hardpoints of JF-17. The wet points on F-16 remain the same. This config helps JF-17 more than F-16.
In case of F-16 it can only help in more payload.

My initial reaction was, maybe you were referring to the Conformal Fuel Tanks, on the F16 they increase range by approx 40%, without sacrificing any hard points.

@Khafee Sir can PAF also add Two AMRAAMs on Wingtip? Or not possible due to Max Take off Weight Limitations or Others if any??

TBH I havent seen twin racks on wing tips, most probably due to weight restriction.

Sir I Basically asked One more AMRAAM on Wingtip (that mean total 6-AMRAAMs on each Aircraft). Is it possible or it will increase MTOW of the Aircraft with Six AMRAAMs?
