Solution

The correct option is C Kinetic energy is lower and hence it travels slower
According to kepler's second law, angular momentum of the planet is conserved. Hence, L=r x p. As, r increases, p decreases and hence kinetic energy also decreases
The option (c) is the correct option

Statement I: Lithium needs less energy to knock off an electron from its outermost orbit than Helium.
Statement II: Lithium has 1 electron in its outermost orbit which is loosely bound due to the repulsion of the inner orbit electrons and hence, less attraction from the nucleus.
