Assertion : If rotation of earth about its own axis is suddenly stops then acceleration due to gravity will increase at all places on the earth.
Reason : At height h from the surface of earth acceleration due to gravity is `g_(h)=g(1- (2h)/R_(e))`.

A

If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion & Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
