Ans. Let Acceleration due to gravity at Height h is g' and Acceleration due to gravity at surface is g. 

\(g' = g - {35g\over 100} = g- {7g \over 20} = {13g\over 20}\)

We know that Acceleration due to gravity at Height h from the Earth Surface is Given By :

\(g' = g ({1 - {2h\over R}}) \space \space \space \space \space \space \space ... (1) \)

Where (R = 6400 Km ) is Radius of Earth

=> \({13g\over 20 }= g({1- {2h\over R})}\)

=> \({13\over 20 }= ({1- {2h\over R})}\)

=> \(1- {13\over 20 }= {2h\over R}\)

=> \({7\over 20 }= {2h\over R} => h = {7R\over40}\)

=> \( h = {7\times 6400\over40} = 1120\space Km\)
