Assertion: The value of acceleration due to gravity does not depends upon mass of the body on which force is applied.
Reason: Acceleration due to gravity is a constant quantity.

Options

A. Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.
B. Statement I is True, Statement II is True: Statement II is Not a correct explanation for Statement I.
C. Statement I is True, Statement II is False.
D. Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Answer

C

Explanation

Acceleration due to gravity is given by `g=GM//l^(2)`. Thus, it does not depend on the mass of the body on which it is acting.
Also, it is not a constant quantity. It changes with changes in value of both `M` and `R` (distance between two bodies).
