Dependence of intensity of gravitational field \((\mathrm{E})\) of the earth with distance \((\mathrm{r})\) from the centre of the earth is correctly represented by: (where \(\mathrm{R}\) is the radius of the earth)

1.		2.
3.		4.

Which one of the following plots represents the variation of a gravitational field on a particle with distance \(r\) due to a thin spherical shell of radius \(R?\)
(\(r\) is measured from the centre of the spherical shell)

1.		2.
3.		4.

If the radius of the earth shrinks by 1%, then for acceleration due to gravity, there would be:
1. No change at the poles
2. No change at the equator
3. Maximum change at the equator
4. Equal change at all locations
