If the earth stops rotating,the value of $g$ at the equator will

Choose the correct alternative:
$(a)$ Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.
$(b)$ Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth (assume the Earth to be a sphere of uniform density).
$(c)$ Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the Earth/mass of the body.
$(d)$ The formula $-G M m(1 / r_{2}-1 / r_{1})$ is more/less accurate than the formula $m g(r_{2}-r_{1})$ for the difference of potential energy between two points $r_{2}$ and $r_{1}$ distance away from the centre of the Earth.

The diameters of two planets are in the ratio $4:1$. Their mean densities have the ratio $1:2$. The ratio of gravitational acceleration on the surface of the planets will be:

At what distance from the centre of the earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ will be half that on the surface? ($R =$ radius of earth)

Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere,what is the effect on the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$?
