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 work
done on $S_1$, Work done on $S_1$ is more than $S_2$
STATEMENT2: $k_1 < k_2$
