Imagine earth to be a solid sphece of mass $M$ and radius $R$. If the value of acceleration due to gravity at a depth d below earth's surface is same as its value at a height $h$ above its surface and equal to $\frac{g}{4}$ (where $g$ is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth), the ratio of $\frac{h}{d}$ will be
