The value of the acceleration due to gravity is g1 at a height  h=R2 ( R= radius of the earth) from the surface of the earth. It is again equal to  g1 at a depth d below the surface of the earth. The ratio dR equals

a
49
b
59
c
13
d
79

detailed solution

Correct option is B

At height  : g=GMR+h2=GMR+R22=49GMR2​At depth : g=g1-dR=GMR3R-d∵g=GMR2​​∴49GMR2=GMR3R-d​⇒dR=59
