The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements and determine their validity, we can break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Statement-I **Statement-I**: "Law of conservation of mass holds good for nuclear reaction." - The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system. However, in nuclear reactions, this law does not strictly hold because some mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation \(E=mc^2\). Therefore, Statement-I is **false**. ### Step 2: Understand Statement-II **Statement-II**: "Law states that mass can be neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction." - This statement is true. In chemical reactions, the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. Therefore, Statement-II is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between the Statements - Statement-I claims that the law of conservation of mass applies to nuclear reactions, which we have established is false. - Statement-II correctly describes the law of conservation of mass in the context of chemical reactions but does not provide a valid explanation for Statement-I since Statement-I is false. ### Conclusion - **Statement-I** is **false**. - **Statement-II** is **true**. - Therefore, the correct conclusion is that Statement-I is not supported by Statement-II. ### Final Answer - Statement-I is false, and Statement-II is true.
