Assertion: At the centre of earth, a body has centre of mass, but no centre of gravity.
Reason: Acceleration due to gravity is zero at the centre of earth.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because at the center of the Earth, the net gravitational force is zero, leading to no center of gravity, and this is because the acceleration due to gravity is zero.
