Statements I: Astronomical unit (Au). Parsec (Pc) and Light year (ly) are units for measuring astronomical distances.

Statements II: Au < Parsec (Pc) < ly

In the light of the above statements. choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1 Both Statements I and Statements Il are correct.  
2 Statements I is correct but Statements II is incorrect.  
3 Both Statements I and Statements II are incorrect.  
4 Statements I is incorrect but statements II is correct,  

Ans.

(2)   

1 AU=1.496×1011m

1 par sec=3.08×1016m

1 light year=9.46×1015m

 So, Au<ly<Par sec
