Solution
The correct option is B STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1 Both Dumas method and Kjeldahl's method are used for estimating Nitrogen.
Kjeldahl' method is not applicable to compounds containing N in nitro and azo groups and N present in the ring (pyridine) as N of these compounds does not change to (NH4)2SO4.
Dumas method is more applicable as it is faster than Kjeldahl's method. It gives immediate results. It is also easy to use.
