What is the gravitational field intensity at any point inside a uniform spherical shell?

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 centre of a cube of side '$a$',the flux of the gravitational field passing through its sides is $-4\pi GM$.
Statement-$2$: If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance '$r$' 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.

The magnitude of the gravitational field at distances $r_1$ and $r_2$ from the center of a uniform sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ are $F_1$ and $F_2$ respectively. The ratio $(F_1 / F_2)$ will be (if $r_1 > R$ and $r_2 < R$):

The mass of the Earth is $81$ times the mass of the Moon and the distance between their centres is $R$. The distance from the centre of the Earth where the gravitational force will be zero is
