(A) There are points outside the earth where the value of g is equal to its value at the equator.
(B) There are points outside the earth where the value of g is equal to its value at the poles.

Solution
The correct option is B A is correct but B is wrong.
The value of g is maximum at the poles than any other point anywhere. As the value of g decreases due to height there might be some point about the pole where value of g might be equal to that at equator. Thus statement A is correct but B is wrong
