Detailed Solution

The weight of the body at the centre of earth is zero because at centre g value is zero.

Weight = mg

g=GMR2

Mass = Volume ×Density

g= G4πR33ρR2

g= 4GρπR3

At the centre, the radius will be zero. Therefore, we can say the value of g will be zero.
Hence the weight will also be zero.
