Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The acceleration due to gravity of a body of mass m on the earth's surface is given by, g=GMR2
where G= gravitational constant, M= mass of the earth's and R= radius of earth.
The value of g does not depend on the mass m of the body.
As the mass of the earth and radius is constant so the value of g will be also remain constant.
