**Statement I :** The law of gravitation holds good for any pair of bodies in the universe.
**Statement II :** The weight of any person becomes zero when the person is at the centre of the earth.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer: (A) Statement I and Statement II both are true.
Statement I: Newton's law of gravitation is universal; it applies to every pair of masses. True.
Statement II: Inside the earth $g' = g\left(1 - \dfrac{d}{R}\right)$. At the centre $d = R$, so $g' = 0$ and the weight $mg'$ is zero. True.
Both statements are true.
