Mean free path of a molecule is

Consider the following statements for air molecules in an air tight container. (I) the average speed of molecules is larger than root mean square speed (II) mean free path of molecules is larger than the mean distance between molecules (III) mean free path of molecules increases with temperature (IV) the rms speed of nitrogen molecule is smaller than oxygen molecule The true statements are :

Statement-1 : Mean free path of molecules of a gas decreases with increases in number density of the molecules. Statement-2 : More the molecules per unit volume, more are the chances of molecular collision. Therefore, mean free path decreases.

Assertion : Mean free path of a gas molecule varies inversely as density of the gas. Reason : Mean free path varies inversely as pressure of the gas.
