If \mathrm{g_h \: and \: g_d} be the accelerations due to gravity at a height \mathrm{h} and at depth \mathrm{d}, above and below the surface of earth respectively. Assuming \mathrm{h<<R \: and \: d<<R} and if \mathrm{g_h=g_d} then,
 

Option: 1

\mathrm{d=h}

 


Option: 2

\mathrm{\quad d=2 h}
 


Option: 3

\mathrm{h=2 d}
 


Option: 4

Data is insufficient to arrive at a conclusion.

\mathrm{\mathrm{g}\left(1-\frac{2 \mathrm{~h}}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \cong \mathrm{g}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)}

\mathrm{ \Rightarrow d=2 h }

Hence option 2 is correct.
