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 $'a'$, 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 $'r'$ from the source is given as ${1 \over {{r^2}}},$ 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.

Question

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 $'a'$, 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 $'r'$ from the source is given as ${1 \over {{r^2}}},$ 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.

Statement - $1$ is false, Statement - $2$ is true

Statement - $1$ is true, Statement - $2$ is true; Statement - $2$ is a correct explanation for Statement - $1$

Statement - $1$ is true, Statement - $2$ is true; Statement - $2$ is not a correct explanation for Statement - $1$

Statement - $1$ is true, Statement - $2$ is false
