JEE Main 2008 — Gravitation Question with Solution

This question contains Statement - $$1$$ and Statement - $$2$$. of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

Statement - $$1$$:

For a mass $$M$$ kept at the center of a cube of side $${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$$, the flux of gravitational field passing through its sides $$4\pi GM.$$

Statement - 2:

If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance $${}^{\prime }{r}^{\prime }$$ from the source is given as $$\frac{1}{r^2},$$ its flux through a closed surface depends only on the strength of the source enclosed by the surface and not on the size or shape of the surface.
