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.
