Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with the distance from the centre of the earth (radius of the earth $= R_E$)?

The angular velocity of the earth with which it has to rotate so that acceleration due to gravity on $60^o$ latitude becomes zero is (Radius of earth $= 6400 \, km$. At the poles $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

The change in the value of $g$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth $d$ below the surface of the earth. When both $d$ and $h$ are much smaller than the radius of the earth,then which one of the following is correct?

What is the time period of a seconds pendulum on a planet whose mass and radius are twice that of the Earth?
