At what height from the surface of the earth will the value of acceleration due to gravity fall to half of its value on the surface of the earth?

The gravitational pull of the moon is $(1/6)^{\text{th}}$ of the earth and the mass of the moon is $(1/8)^{\text{th}}$ of the earth. This implies that the:

Two planets $A$ and $B$ have the same mass $M$ and radius $R$. The variation of density $\rho$ of the planets with distance $r$ from the center is shown in the following diagrams. The ratio of acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planets $A$ and $B$ will be:
