Solution

The correct option is D Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True
In statement-1, nothing is said about acceleration of both particles. Hence angle between velocity and acceleration of centre of mass may not be zero. Consequently centre of mass may not move along a straight line. Hence statement-1 is false.
