The variation of acceleration due to gravity with distance from the centre of the earth is best represented by (= Earth's radius):








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
A. 
Step-by-step solution
We know that acceleration due to gravity is given by,
\left|g\right| = \left\{\begin{cases}\dfrac{GMr}{{R}^{3}}, & 0 \le r < R \\ \dfrac{GM}{{r}^{2}}, r \ge R & \end{cases}\right)<br /><br />∴ The desired graph is,
