The bag of sugar will weigh more at Antarctica i.e. the poles.
Reason: The polar radius of the earth is less than the equatorial radius of the earth. The acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth. Hence, its value at the poles is greater than its value at the equator. Thus a body weighs more at the poles than at the equator. Since weight is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, therefore the bag of sugar will weigh more at Antarctica.
