Q86 / 105 · JEE Main 2008 · Physics

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 - I: For a mass $M$ kept at the centre of a cube of side ' $a$ ', the flux of gravitational field passing through its sides is $4 \pi$ GM. and Statement - II If the direction of a field due to a point source is radial and its dependence on the distance ' $r$ ' for the source is given as $1 / r^2$, 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.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Statement $-1$ is true, Statement $-2$ is true; Statement $-2$ is 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.

Solution

$$ \mathrm{g}=\mathrm{GM} / \mathrm{r}^2 $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
