Imagine earth to be a solid sphere of mass M and radius R. If the value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below earth's surface is same as its value at a height h above its surface and equal to `(g)/(4)` (where g is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth), the ratio of `(h)/(d)` will be
