Solution

The correct option is B 2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect. The inner core is in the solid-state whereas the outer core is in the liquid state. This is because although the temperature is very high inside the inner core, the pressure is also very high, making it solid.

Statement 2 is correct. Silicon has the second-largest composition in the earth’s crust.

Composition in earth’s crust: Oxygen (O) >Silicon (Si)> Aluminum (Al)>Iron(Fe)>Calcium (Ca)>Magnesium (Mg)>Sodium (Na)>Potassium (K)
