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.
