Explanation:

Incorrect. A geostationary satellite is typically positioned at an approximate height of about 35,786 kilometers (22,236 miles) above the Earth's equator, not 10,000 km. This specific orbit allows the satellite to match the Earth's rotation and thus appear stationary over a fixed point on the Earth's surface.
Correct. FM (Frequency Modulation) transmission of music is indeed of high quality, largely because it is less susceptible to atmospheric or manmade noises. These noises usually cause amplitude variations, and since FM is based on frequency variations, the impact of these noises on the quality of the FM signal is significantly reduced.
Therefore, the correct statement is the second one.
