Q. Given below are two statements: Statement I: The hot water flows faster than cold water Statement II: Soap water has higher surface tension as compared to fresh water. In the light above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
A) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
B) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
C) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
D) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
