  • A
    $\frac{1}{9} \, m$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{10} \, m$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{11} \, m$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{11} \, m$

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 figure shows a hemispherical shell. The direction of the gravitational field intensity at point $p$ will be along
