Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is correct, but Statement 2 is not correct.
A gas is more random than a liquid because in case of a gas, molecules are free to move in the space provided and they have least intermolecular forces amongst solids and liquids.
Also, since randomness is measured by entropy and randomness decreases from gas to liquid.
Thus, entropy decreases from gas to liquid.
