IN UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION ACCELERATION(a)has two formulaes a=RW^2 i.e (W=OMEGA) and a=v^2/r so is acceleration is directly or inversely proportional to r(radius)

If during the motion, the angular velocity of the particle is constant, then the acceleration of the particle is directly propotional to r.

On the other hand if its linear velocity is constant throughout, then it is inversely proportional to r .

At a constant speed, the centripetal acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is inversely proportional to the orbital radius, yet, at a constant period of revolution, the centripetal acceleration is directly proportional to the orbital radius.

therefore the question is incomplete.
