Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
“A vector quantity should possess both magnitude and direction.” Hence Gravitational constant is a scalar quantity as it does not depend on the direction. But ‘g’ is a vector quantity. The value of gravitational acceleration is zero at the center of the earth, but the value of the gravitational constant is never zero. Hence the statement is true.
