Solution
The correct option is B Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 During collision intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases and since the total energy of system has to be constant K.E. decreases for a very short period of time.
