Correct answer
BStatement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Step-by-step explanation
Self inductance of a long solenoid is given by
Magnetic field at the centre of solenoid
So both the statements are correct and statement 2 is correct explanation of statement 1
