If the radius of the Earth decreases without any change in its mass,will the value of $g$ on its surface increase or decrease?

At a certain depth $d$ below the surface of the earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes four times its value at a height $3R$ above the earth's surface. Where $R$ is the radius of the earth (Take $R = 6400 \ km$). The depth $d$ is equal to $............ \ km$.

The time period of a simple pendulum is $T_1$ when on the Earth's surface and $T_2$ when taken to a height $h = 2R$ above the Earth's surface, where $R$ is the radius of the Earth. The ratio $T_1 : T_2$ is:

The value of $g$ on the Earth's surface is $980 \, cm/s^2$. Its value at a height of $64 \, km$ from the Earth's surface is ........ $cm/s^2$ (Radius of the Earth $R = 6400 \, km$).

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of Earth.
