Explanation:
Now the weight of the body is directly proportional to the acceleration due to the gravity on the surface of the earth. So the weight of the body is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator on the surface of the earth. So this is the required answer.

As the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the center of the earth, the force of attraction is higher on the body at poles than at the equator. Hence the weight of a body is greater at pole than at the equator.
