Starting from the centre of the earth having radius , the variation of (acceleration due to gravity) is shown by







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
B. 
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration due to gravity at a depth below the surface of the earth is given by
Also, for a point at height above surface,
Therefore, we can say that value of increases from centre to maximum at the surface and then decreases as depicted in graph (b).
