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

Option: 1

Both \mathrm{A} and \mathrm{R} are true and \mathrm{R} is the correct explanation of \mathrm{A}.


Option: 2

Both \mathrm{A} and \mathrm{R} are true but \mathrm{R}is NOT the correct explanation of \mathrm{A}.


Option: 3

\mathrm{A}  is true but \mathrm{R} is false
 


Option: 4

A is false but \mathrm{R}is true


Answers (1)

\mathrm{\rightarrow Radius\: at \: equator = Radius\: at \: pole +21 \mathrm{~km}}
\mathrm{\rightarrow}  As we move from pole to equator, acceleration due to gravity will decrease
\mathrm{\rightarrow} The direction of  acceleration due to gravity is towards the earth

    The correct option is (4)
