The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements given: ### Step 1: Analyze Statement-1 **Statement-1:** It is better to wash the clothes in cold soap solution. - When washing clothes, the effectiveness of the washing solution is influenced by the surface tension of the liquid. - Soap is added to water to reduce its surface tension, allowing the solution to penetrate the fabric better and lift stains more effectively. - Generally, hot water decreases the surface tension of the soap solution even further compared to cold water, making it more effective for washing. - Therefore, washing clothes in a cold soap solution is not as effective as washing them in a hot soap solution. **Conclusion for Statement-1:** This statement is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement-2 **Statement-2:** The surface tension of cold solution is more than the surface tension of hot solution. - Surface tension is a property of liquids that decreases with an increase in temperature. - Cold solutions have higher surface tension compared to hot solutions because heating a liquid typically reduces its surface tension. - Thus, it is correct to say that the surface tension of a cold soap solution is indeed more than that of a hot soap solution. **Conclusion for Statement-2:** This statement is **true**. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement-1** is **false**. - **Statement-2** is **true**. Thus, the correct answer is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
