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.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is a correct explanation for Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement-$1$.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.
