Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ Rotation of the earth shows effect on the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.
Statement $II:$ The effect of rotation of the earth on the value of $g$ at the equator is minimum and that at the pole is maximum.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
