If the change in the value ofgat a height h above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth x below it, then (both x and h being much smaller than the radius of the earth)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The value of g at the height h from the surface of earth
g′=g1-2hR 
The value of g at depth x below the surface of earthg′=g1-xR
These two are given equal, hence1-2hR=1-xR
On solving, we getx=2h
