JEE Main Physics question

There is a mine of depth about km. In this mine, the conditions as compared to those at the surface are

(A)Lower air pressure, higher acceleration due to gravity
(B)Higher air pressure, lower acceleration due to gravityCorrect
(C)Higher air pressure, higher acceleration due to gravity
(D)Lower air pressure, lower acceleration due to gravity

Answer: (B)

Solution

Air pressure increases with depth below the surface (because of the extra column of air above within the connected mine shaft), while acceleration due to gravity decreases with
