Question R13 Q23 - NSB MS 2012

Assume that the Sun in its current state and in its future state as a white dwarf will have exactly the same mass. How will acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Sun at this moment compare to acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Sun as a white dwarf in the future?

W) The acceleration due to gravity will be greater at the surface of the Sun in its current state

X) The acceleration due to gravity will be greater at the surface of the white dwarf in the future

Y) The acceleration due to gravity will be equal at the surface of either location

Z) Acceleration due to gravity cannot be compared without knowing the density of each object
