Given:

There are two statements given in the question.

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

1 km = 1000 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Calculation:

In statement I,

The speed of vehicle = 30.6 km/hr = (30.6 × 1000)/3600 m/s = 8.5 m/s

Hence, the statement I is false.

In statement II,

The speed of bus = 72 km/hr = (72 × 1000)/3600 m/s = 20 m/s

The bus will cover in 10 seconds = 20 × 10 = 200 meters

Hence, the statement II is false.

Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are false.
