Solution

The correct option is C E1<E2
Consider the following changes :
AA++e: E1 and A+A2++e: E2

The energy required to pull out the two electrons are E1 and E2 respectively. The correct relationship between two energies would be E1<E2.

The second ionization energy is always higher than the first ionization energy as an electron is to be removed from unipositive cation. There is a strong electrostatic attractive force between the unipositive cation and the electron. This makes the removal of electron difficult and requires a large amount of energy.

Hence, option A is correct.
