Solution

The correct option is C
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

Alkanes with general formula $C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ differ by $C H_{2}$ group. Methane $C H_{4}$ , ethane $C H_{3} - C H_{3}$ , propane $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{3}$ and butane $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$ are first four members of alkane homologous series. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
