At which location,the equator or the poles of the Earth,is the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ higher? Why?

$A$ body thrown on Earth reaches a height of $90\,m$. If the same body is thrown on a planet with $\frac{1}{10}$ of the mass and $\frac{1}{3}$ of the radius of Earth,it will reach a height of ....... $m$.

As we go from the equator of the earth to the pole of the earth,the value of acceleration due to gravity

The height of the point vertically above the earth's surface,at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes $1\%$ of its value at the surface is (Radius of the earth $= R$). (in $,R$)

Assuming the density of the Earth is constant, which graph correctly represents the variation of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ with the distance $(r)$ from the center of the Earth (radius of the Earth $= R$)?
