We know that the value of acceleration due to gravity Čg' decreases with height `(h lt lt R)` above the earth's surface and also with depth 'd' below the surface of earth. Consider the carth to be of uniform density of radius R. The relation between h and d where `(Delta g), `then the reduction in the value of gravity, becomes same is :

A

`d = 2h`

B

`d =h`

C

`h = 2d `

D

`h = d ^(2)`
