For satellite K . E_{.}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2=\frac{1}{2} m\left(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{GM}}{\mathrm{r}}}\right)^2
K . E . = \frac{GMm}{2r}
Potential energy U = - \frac{GMm}{r}
Total energy = K.E+U
E = -\frac{GMm}{2r}
U= 2E                 

Statement I – incorrect
K . E . = \left | E \right |         

 Statement II- incorrect
