A. increases

B. decreases

C. remains unchanged

D. may decrease or increase

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

If speed of rotation of the earth increases, weight of the body decreases. This is because you see a moving body on the rotating earth's surface itself is in the reference frame. So when the earth rotates, the centripetal force acts towards the centre of rotation.
