(N/A) $1$. At the centre of the Earth,the distance from the centre $r = 0$. The formula for acceleration due to gravity at a depth $d$ is $g_d = g(1 - d/R)$,where $d = R$ at the centre. Thus,$g_{centre} = g(1 - R/R) = 0$. So,the value of $g$ at the centre of the Earth is $0 \ m/s^2$.
$2$. Below the surface: As we go deeper into the Earth (increasing depth $d$),the value of $g$ decreases linearly according to the formula $g_d = g(1 - d/R)$.
$3$. Above the surface: As we go higher above the surface (increasing height $h$),the value of $g$ decreases according to the formula $g_h = g(1 - 2h/R)$ for $h \ll R$,or more generally $g_h = gR^2 / (R + h)^2$. In both cases,$g$ decreases as height increases.

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.

Acceleration due to gravity $g$ for a body of mass $m$ on the Earth's surface is proportional to (Radius of Earth $= R$,mass of Earth $= M$)

The angular speed of the Earth in $rad/s$,so that bodies on the equator may appear weightless is: [Use $g = 10\, m/s^2$ and the radius of the Earth $R = 6.4 \times 10^3\, km$]
