If $R$ is the radius of the earth and $g$ the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the mean density of the earth is

A

$4\pi G/3gR$

B

$3\pi R/4gG$

C

$3g/4\pi RG$

D

$\pi RG/12G$

If $R$ is the radius of the earth and $g$ the acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface, the mean density of the earth is

$g = \frac{{GM}}{{{R^2}}}$ and $M = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} \times D $

$\therefore \,\,g = \frac{4}{3}\frac{{\pi {R^3} \times GD}}{{{R^2}}}\, \Rightarrow \,D = \frac{{3g.}}{{4\pi RG}}$
