Statement-1 : The frequency of K(alpha) ...

Statement-1 : The frequency of `K_(alpha)` X-radiation is greater than `K_(beta)` for a given target material.
and
Statement-2 : `K_(alpha)` radiation is produced when an electron from `n = 2` jumps into the vacancy in `n = 1` orbit, whereas in `K_(beta)` radiation the transition takes place from `n = 2` to `n = 1`.

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-5

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-5
