Statement 1: The zeroth law of thermodynamics was known before the first law of thermodynamics. Statement 2: The zeroth law concerning thermal equilibrium appeared after three laws (I, II and III) of thermodynamics and thus was named zeroth law

Question

Statement 1: The zeroth law of thermodynamics was known before the first law of thermodynamics. Statement 2: The zeroth law concerning thermal equilibrium appeared after three laws (I, II and III) of thermodynamics and thus was named zeroth law (A) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1 (B) If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1 (C) If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false (D) If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

The statement 2 is an explanation for the name zeroth law.

Q. Statement 1: The zeroth law of thermodynamics was known before the first law of thermodynamics. Statement 2: The zeroth law concerning thermal equilibrium appeared after three laws (I, II and III) of thermodynamics and thus was named zeroth law

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true

The statement 2 is an explanation for the name zeroth law.
