Statement $I:$ Two forces $(\overrightarrow{P}+\overrightarrow{Q})$ and $(\overrightarrow{P}-\overrightarrow{Q})$,where $\overrightarrow{P} \perp \overrightarrow{Q}$,act at an angle $\theta_{1}$ to each other,and the magnitude of their resultant is $\sqrt{3(P^{2}+Q^{2})}$. When they act at an angle $\theta_{2}$,the magnitude of their resultant becomes $\sqrt{2(P^{2}+Q^{2})}$. This is possible only when $\theta_{1} < \theta_{2}$.
Statement $II:$ In the situation given above,$\theta_{1} = 60^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{2} = 90^{\circ}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement-$I$ is false but Statement-$II$ is true.
  • B
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are true.
  • C
    Statement-$I$ is true but Statement-$II$ is false.
  • D
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are false.
