Given below are two statements :

Statement-I : Among Zn, Mn, Sc and Cu, the energy required to remove the third valence electron is highest for Zn and lowest for Sc.

Statement-II : The correct order of the following complexes in terms of CFSE is

[Co(HX2O)X6]X2+\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^2+} << [Co(HX2O)X6]X3+\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^3+} << [Co(en)X3]X3+\ce{[Co(en)3]^3+}.

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

  1. (1)Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true.
  2. (2)Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false.
