We know that,

g1=G.m/R2

so, g is inversely proportional to R2.

And, if Radius of the earth(R) is doubled, the distance between the object and the centre of the earth will become 2R.

Now, g=G.m/(2R)2

=> g2=G.m/4R 2

=> g2=1/4(G.m/R2)

Since, G.m/R2 =g1

=> g2=1/4 g1

Here, g1=9.8 m/s2

So, g2=9.8/4 m/s2

=2.45 m/s2
