Detailed Solution

Time period of satellite  =2πRE+h3/2GME

From the above equation, it is clear that the time period of satellite depends on the mass of earth (ME), radius of orbit
(r = RE + h) and height of the satellite from the surface of earth (h).
The geo-stationary satellite can have circular or elliptical orbit. 
Thus, only Statement I is incorrect.
