Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statements \(I\) is correct but Statements \(II\) is incorrect.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 AU =1.496 \times 10^{11}\,m\)

\(1 \text { par sec }=3.08 \times 10^{16}\,m\)

\(1 \text { light year }=9.46 \times 10^{15}\,m\)

So, \(Au < ly < Per\,sec\)
