Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is reduced when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.
Statement II: The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is reduced when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, relative to the Earth.
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The earth is slowing down and as a result, the moon is coming nearer to it.
Reason (R): The angular momentum of the earth-moon system is not conserved.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Though the gravitational force between two particles is central, the force between two finite rigid bodies is not necessarily along the line joining their centre of mass.
Reason (R): A spherical shell doesn't shield other bodies outside it from exerting gravitational forces on a particle inside.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.

Given below are two statements: 
Statement I: The gravitational force acting on a particle depends on the electric charge of the particle.
Statement II: The gravitational force on an extended body can be calculated by assuming the body to be a particle 'concentrated' at its centre of mass and applying Newton's law of gravitation.
 
1.  Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
