Statement $I :$ A cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of $7\, kmh ^{-1}$ and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of radius of $2 \,m$ without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is $0.2$ . The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve $\left( g =9.8\, m / s ^{2}\right)$

Statement $II :$ If the road is banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$, cyclist can cross the curve of $2\, m$ radius with the speed of $18.5\, kmh ^{-1}$ without slipping.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
