Acceleration Due to Gravity

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Acceleration due to gravity is different at different places on the surface of earth. Statement II: Acceleration due to gravity increases as we go down below the earth's surface. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Statement I: $g$ varies with latitude (rotation, $g' = g - \omega^2R\cos^2\lambda$ ), the earth's shape and altitude. True.
Statement II: below the surface $g_d = g\left(1 - \frac{d}{R}\right)$ , so $g$ decreases, not increases. False.
So the answer is (d).
