Different planets have masses $M_1, M_2, M_3$ and radii $R_1, R_2, R_3$ respectively. The acceleration due to gravity on their surfaces are $g_1, g_2, g_3$ respectively. Based on the given graph,arrange their masses in descending order.

Two planets have the same average density but their radii are $R_1$ and $R_2$. If acceleration due to gravity on these planets be $g_1$ and $g_2$ respectively,then

If the mass of the Earth decreases by $25 \%$ and its radius increases by $50 \%$,then the acceleration due to gravity at its surface decreases by nearly ......... $\%$
