The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement separately and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** A body kept at rest upon Earth's surface near New Delhi, if allowed to move freely inside the Earth's surface, will reach the Earth's center directly. **Analysis:** - When a body is at rest on the Earth's surface, it is subject to gravitational forces pulling it towards the center of the Earth. - However, if the body is allowed to move freely inside the Earth, it will not necessarily move directly towards the center. The gravitational force varies with depth; as the body moves towards the center, the effective gravitational force acting on it decreases. - Additionally, the body would experience oscillatory motion due to the gravitational pull, meaning it would not travel in a straight line to the center. **Conclusion:** Statement 1 is **false**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** All bodies upon Earth's surface experience centrifugal force. **Analysis:** - The Earth rotates on its axis, and due to this rotation, any object on the surface experiences a centrifugal force that acts outward, away from the axis of rotation. - This force is a result of the circular motion of the Earth and is experienced by all bodies on its surface. **Conclusion:** Statement 2 is **true**. ### Final Evaluation - **Statement 1:** False - **Statement 2:** True Based on the evaluations: - The correct option is that Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true.
