This question has Statement I and Statement It. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements
Statement - I: If to the equilibrium `PCI_5(g) iff PCI_3(g) + Cl_(g)`, in a closed vessel, an inert gas is added, total pressuré will increase and hence, equilibrium will shift backward.
Statement - II: Addition of an inest gas to an equilibrium mixture at constant pressure shifts the equilibrium in the forward direction.

Options

A. Statement - I is true, Statement - II is true,
Statement - II is a correct explanation of Statement - I
B. Statement - I is true, Statement - II ts true,
Statement - II is not a correct explanation of Statement I.
