Assertion (A): At pole value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is greater than that of equator.
Reason (R) : Earth rotates on its axis in addition to revolving round the sun.

A

If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

If A is true but R is false

D

If A is false but R is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because of the rotation of the earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity changes. Due to this rotation, the value of 'g' becomes minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles.
