    Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: If we move from poles to equator, the direction of acceleration due to gravity of earth always points towards the center of earth without any variation in its magnitude. Reason R: At equator, the direction of acceleration due to the gravity is towards the center of earth. In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
