Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A satellite is moving around earth in the orbit very close to the earth surface. The time period of revolution of satellite depends upon the density of earth.Statement II : The time period of revolution of the satellite is $\displaystyle T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R_e}{g}}$ (for satellite very close to the earth surface), where $\displaystyle R_{\mathrm{e}}$ radius of earth and $\displaystyle g$ acceleration due to gravity. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
