  1. Increase

  2. Decrease

  3. Remain same

  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

 Mass will move towards equator (away from axis) So, I will increase. Therefore $\omega$ will decrease
(as $I \omega =$ constant) Hence, time period will increase
$\displaystyle \left( as T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} \right) $
Duration of day-night increase
