A man of mass $m$ starts falling towards a planet of mass $$M$$ and radius $$R$$. As he reaches near to the surface, he realizes that will pass through a small role in the planet. As he enters the role, we sees that the planet is really made of two pieces a spherical shell of negligible thickness of mass $$3 M / 4$$ and a point mass $$M / 4$$ at the centre. Change in the force of gravity experienced by the man is

A
$$\frac{3}{4} \frac{G M m}{R^2}$$
B
0
C
$$\frac{1}{3} \frac{G M m}{R^2}$$
D
$$\frac{4}{3} \frac{G M m}{R^2}$$
