Question
The gravitational acceleration on a planet is 20% less than that on the Earth. A rocket takes a man from the Earth to this planet. On neglecting the effect of all other bodies in the sky, which curve in the figure best describes the change in the man's weight with distance traveled?

Solution
The correct option is B C
As we move away from earth the value of gravitational field will decrease till it will become zero at specific point between the two and after that it will again increase till it reaches the other planet. Option C . Final value will be less than initial value as g of the planet is less than the g of the earth.
