The value of g is maximum at the surface of the Earth and g=0 at centre of the Earth. If one goes away from the Earth surface, again the value of g decreases. Thus, graph (.d.) is showing the correct variation of g. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-7n5md4rm78be.png" />

Q. Variation of acceleration due to gravity ( $g$ ) with distance $x$ from the centre of the Erath is best represented by ( $R \to$ Radius of the Earth)

The value of g is maximum at the surface of the Earth and $g = 0$ at centre of the Earth. If one goes away from the Earth surface, again the value of g decreases.
Thus, graph $(d)$ is showing the correct variation of g.

Q. Variation of acceleration due to gravity ( g ) with distance x from the centre of the Erath is best represented by ( R→ Radius of the Earth)

The value of g is maximum at the surface of the Earth and g=0 at centre of the Earth. If one goes away from the Earth surface, again the value of g decreases. Thus, graph (d) is showing the correct variation of g.
