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 $\theta_{1} < \theta_{2}$.
