Solution

The correct option is D

3 and 4 only


In troposphere temperature decrease with increasing height at 6.50 C/km which is known as normal lapse rate. Thermosphere and not the exosphere is divided into D.E.F.G layers. Third statement is correctly stated. Forth statements is also correct as the height of troposphere is 17km over equator and ~9-10km over poles our to relatively higher height over the equator, the temperature at tropopause is less over equator as compared to poles.
