Solution

The correct option is B Statement 1 is true
Statement 2 is true
Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.

The hydrolysis of phosphorus trichloride gives phosphorus acid.
PCl3+3H2OH3PO3+3HCl
Thus the statement-1 is correct.
It exists in two tautomeric forms.
P(OH)3 is the minor tautomer and H3PO3 is the major tautomer.
Thus the statement-2 is correct.
But the statemetn-2 is not the correct explanation of statement -1.
