Given below are two statements : One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A : If we move form poles to equator, the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the centre of earth without any variation in its magnitude.

Reason R : At equator, the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the centre of earth.

In the light of above statements, chose the correct answer from the options given below

Option 1 - <p>Both A and R are true and R is not correct explanation of A.</p>
Option 2 - <p>Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.</p>
Option 3 - <p>A is true but R is false</p>
Option 4 - <p>A is false but R is true</p>

Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

 g'=gω2Rsinθ

g' (atθ=0pole)=g

g' (atθ=90°, equator)=gω2R

g decreases as we move bole to equator

So, A is false statement

But 'R' statement is true
