Where does the acceleration due to gravity is larger, equator or poles

1.	Where does the acceleration due to gravity is larger, equator or poles of the earth? Why?
Answer» Solution :`IMPLIES` The acceleration of GRAVITY g is larger at poles of earth because RADIUS of earth near poles is LESS than the radius near equator by about 21 km and acceleration DUE to gravity `g prop 1/R_(e)^2` andhence g is larger at poles than at the equator.
