Detailed Solution

Radius is decreased by 2% i.e., -2% g=GMR2  g∝1R2 g∝R-2 g%=-2R%=-2(-2%)=+4% and K=L22I==L222MR25 K∝1R2 K∝R-2 K%=-2R%=-2(-2%)=+4%We are clearly given in the question that all the other quantities remain constant other than the radius of earth. So, we could conclude that earth’s mass and angular momentum remains constant.
