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

How much is the radius of the Earth at the equator greater than the radius at the poles?

Considering Earth to be a sphere of radius $R$ having uniform density $\rho$,the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ in terms of $R$,$\rho$,and $G$ is:

The radius of the Earth is about $6400 \; km$ and that of Mars is $3200 \; km$. The mass of the Earth is about $10$ times the mass of Mars. An object weighs $200 \; N$ on the surface of the Earth. Its weight on the surface of Mars will be .......... $N$.

The average density of the Earth is [ $g$ is acceleration due to gravity]:
