The change in the value of g at a height...

The change in the value of g at a height h `h lt lt R` above the surface of the earth is the same as at a depth d= 2h below the surface of earth Reason: The value of g at a height is given by `g prime= g(1-(2h/R))` and the value of g at a depth d is given by `g prime= g(1-(d/R))`

A

A. if both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

B

B. if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion

C

C. if assertion is true, but reason is false

D
