$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ gravitationally attracts a particle of mass $m$ placed at a distance of $3R$ from its centre with a force $F_{1}$. Now,a spherical cavity of radius $\frac{R}{2}$ is made in the sphere (as shown in the figure) such that the cavity is tangent to the centre of the sphere and the outer surface. The force on the particle becomes $F_{2}$. The value of $F_{1} : F_{2}$ is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $R$ equal to the radius of the earth above the tunnel dug through the earth as shown in the figure. Hence the correct statement is

The mass density of a spherical body is given by $\rho(r) = \frac{k}{r}$ for $r \leq R$ and $\rho(r) = 0$ for $r > R$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre. The correct graph that describes qualitatively the acceleration,$a$,of a test particle as a function of $r$ is

The gravitational force acting on a particle,due to a solid sphere of uniform density and radius $R$,at a distance of $3 R$ from the centre of the sphere is $F_1$. $A$ spherical hole of radius $(R / 2)$ is now made in the sphere as shown in the figure. The sphere with hole now exerts a force $F_2$ on the same particle. The ratio of $F_1$ and $F_2$ is
