Solution

The correct option is C Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
Option C is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is true. Ideal gas equation can be written as PV = nRT
When the temperature of the gas is 200K, the equation can be written as PV = 200nR
Thus, V = 200nRP
Now, when the temperature of the gas is increased to 400K , the equation can be written as PV = 400nR
Thus, V = 400nRP
which can further be written as V = 2 200nRP
That is, twice the volume as in the case of 200 K.
This is possible when pressure of the gas is kept constant.
Statement 2 is false. Total volume of the gas increases but size of the molecule remains the same. Volume of molecule doesn't change. Only the total volume of the gas increases.
