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+3H2O→H3PO3+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.
