Solution

As the earth poles are a little depressed than other places, so the gravitational acceleration (g) at poles is more than any other place. So g is more in Antarctica than in Delhi.
weight of an object (W)= mass of the object(m)×g
So the wight of the object will be more at Antarctica than in Delhi.
