The radius of the Earth is about $6400 \; km$ and that of Mars is $3200 \; km$. The mass of the Earth is about $10$ times the mass of Mars. An object weighs $200 \; N$ on the surface of the Earth. Its weight on the surface of Mars will be .......... $N$.

The weight of a body on the surface of the earth is $100\,N$. The gravitational force on it when taken at a height,from the surface of earth,equal to one-fourth the radius of the earth is $..........\,N$.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I:$ Rotation of the earth shows effect on the value of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$.
Statement $II:$ The effect of rotation of the earth on the value of $g$ at the equator is minimum and that at the pole is maximum.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.
