Statement-I: Spring balances show correct readings even after they had been used for a long time.
Statement-II: On using for long time, spring balances losses its elastic strength.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Statement I is false and statement II is true

Option C is correct because Statement I is false as spring balances lose accuracy over time due to elastic fatigue, and Statement II is true because spring balances do lose their elastic strength with prolonged use.
