Question

State whether true or false.

It is profitable to sell gold at poles than at the equator.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know that the value of acceleration due to the gravity increases with the latitude and as the latitude of poles is greater than that at the equator.

This means same mass of the gold will weigh more at the poles than at the equator.

Hence it is profitable to sell gold at equator and the statement is $True$ and correct option is $A$

Note-For the same reason it is profitable to buy gold at the equator.
