Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.
In the solid state of matter, the particles are much closer to each other and the force of attraction is more among the molecules and rigidity is more. Whereas, in a gaseous state of matter, the particles have large space among them and the force of attraction is much lesser when compared to solids and liquids and hence less is the rigidity.
