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 is correct because the assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains why a body at the Earth's center has a center of mass but no center of gravity.
