Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Acceleration due to gravity is given by   g =GMR2  
where g = the acceleration due to gravity, G = the gravitational constant, M = the mass of the earth, and R = the distance between the center of the earth and the object under consideration.    The mass of the body on which it is acting does not influence gravitational acceleration. Also, it is not a constant quantity. It changes with the values of both `M` and `R` (distance between two bodies).
