Statement I: It takes more fuel for a spacecraft to travel from the earth to the Moon than for the return trip. Statement II: The point of zero gravitational field intensity due to the earth and the Moon is lying nearer to the Moon, i.e., in the diagram shown, for rltr_(0), E_(g) is towards the earth's centre and for rgtr_(0), E_(g) is towards the Moon's centre and at r=r_(0),E_(g) is zero.
