Solution

The correct option is B $W_{1} < W_{2} > W_{3}$
At the surface of earth, the value of $g = 9.8 m / s e c^{2}$ . If we go towards the centre of earth or we go above the surface of earth, then in both the cases the value of $g$ decreases.
Hence $W_{1} = m g_{m i n e}, W_{2} = m g_{s e a l e v e l}, W_{3} = m g_{m o u n t a i n}$
So $W_{1} < W_{2} > W_{3}$ ( $g$ at the sea level $= g$ at the surface of earth)
