(b) Activation energy of forward reaction is E1 +E2 and product is more stable than reactant
(c) Activation energy of both forward and backward reaction is E1 +E2 and reactant is more stable than product
(d) Activation energy of backward reaction is E1 and product is more stable than reactant

Solution
(a) Activation energy is the minimum energy required to convert reactant molecules to product molecules. Here, the energy gap between reactants and activated complex is sum of E1 and E2.
therefore Activation energy = E1 +E2
Product is less stable than reactant as enrgy of product is greater than the reactant.
