This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,are stretched by the same force,it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
Statement $1$: If stretched by the same amount,the work done on $S_1$ is more than on $S_2$.
Statement $2$: $k_1 < k_2$.
