For a body of mass 'm', the acceleration due to gravity at a distance 'R' from the surface of the earth is (g/4). Its value at a distance (R/2) from the surface of the earth is (R = radius of the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity) [MHT-CET 2021]

Answer: (C)

Solution

At R/2 above the surface the distance from the centre is , so $g' =
