    Given below are two statements: Statement I: For an ideal gas, heat capacity at constant volume is always greater than the heat capacity at constant pressure. Statement II : In a constant volume process, no work is produced, and all the heat withdrawn goes into the chaotic motion and is reflected by a temperature increase of the ideal gas. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
