If R E be the radius of Earth, then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth r below and a height r above the earth surface is: (Given : r R E )

Question

If R E be the radius of Earth, then the ratio between the acceleration due to gravity at a depth r below and a height r above the earth surface is: (Given : r R E ), 1 + r R E - r 2 R E 2 - r 3 R E 3, 1 + r R E + r 2 R E 2 + r 3 R E 3, 1 - r R E - r 2 R E 2 - r 3 R E 3, 1 + r R E - r 2 R E 2 + r 3 R E 3
