Imagine a new planet having the same density as that of Earth but it is $3$ times bigger than the Earth in size. If the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is $g$ and that on the surface of the new planet is $g^{\prime}$,then

If the change in the value of $g$ at 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)

The time period of a simple pendulum on the surface of the earth is $T$. If the pendulum is taken to a height equal to half of the radius of the earth,then its time period is

The mass of a planet is $\frac{1}{10}$ that of the earth and its diameter is half that of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity on that planet is: (in $m \ s^{-2}$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Acceleration due to earth's gravity decreases as you go 'up' or 'down' from earth's surface.
Statement $II$: Acceleration due to earth's gravity is same at a height '$h$' and depth '$d$' from earth's surface, if $h = d$.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
