Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ Acceleration due to earth's gravity decreases as you go 'up' or 'down' from earth's surface.
Statement $II:$ Acceleration due to earth's gravity is same at a height '$h$' and depth '$d$' from earth's surface,if $h = d$.
In the light of above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

At what height above the surface of the Earth does the value of $g$ decrease by $2 \%$? [Radius of the Earth is $6400 \, km$]

At what depth does the acceleration due to gravity become $\frac{g}{4}$? ($R$ = radius of the Earth)

If the radius of the Earth shrinks by $1.5 \%$ (mass remaining same),then the value of gravitational acceleration changes by ......... $\%$
