1)-d(the percentage of ortho hydrogen can never be more than 75%.)
2)-d

1-d,2-d.

At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen gas contains about 25% of the

para form and 75% of the ortho form, also known as the "normal form" --> (b)

At very low temperatures, the equilibrium state is composed almost exclusively of the para

form. ---> (a)

From (a) & (b) , (c) is also obviously correct

Therefore ans is (d)

(2) (c) is not a consequence though it's true

(b) is true since the inter molecular forces r responsible for them being gases and inturn

ionisation energy is responsible for IMF

(a) Hydrogen is covalently bonded in almost all its compounds. This is mainly because its ionisation energy is very high, so the formation of H+ is not favoured. Also, H+ is a proton and so is extremely small, and this small size gives it exceptionally strong polarising power

So I go with d

For second question i think only A is correct..

@ Saket , Arka and Uttara
can u explain how B is correct

1] d
2] hydrogen exist as a gas at room temperature, hw dis can b consequence of ionisation potential? plz do solve my dbt, so i think for this one ans is only [a]
