Does the energy stored in a spring change when it is stretched or compressed?

Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$ are given. Two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ have force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively,where $k_1 < k_2$. They are stretched by the same force $F$. It is found that the work done on spring $S_1$ is greater than the work done on spring $S_2$.
Statement-$1$: If stretched by the same force,the work done on $S_1$ is greater than the work done on $S_2$.
Statement-$2$: $k_1 < k_2$.
