JEE MainPhysicsGravitationMCQ+4 / −1
Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : If we move from poles to equator, the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the center of earth without any variation in its magnitude. Reason R : At equator, the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the center of earth. In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- BBoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- CA is true but R is false.
- DA is false but R is true.
