Which of the following graph represents correctly the value of ' ' on the Earth ?








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
B. 
Step-by-step solution
Since we know that:
(g r \propto), till the surface of Earth
(g \propto \frac{1}{r^{2}}), outside the surface of Earth
Therefore, the graph shows linear behaviour till the surface of Earth, that is, till and beyond it shows (\frac{1}{r^{2}}) decay, thus
the variation of on the Earth is represented as
