Detailed Solution

Statement-I: "The hot water flows faster than cold water." : True
Hot water has lower viscosity than cold water because increasing temperature reduces intermolecular forces. Lower viscosity allows hot water to flow more easily than cold water.

Statement-II: "Soap water has higher surface tension as compared to fresh water." : False
Soap reduces the surface tension of water by interfering with hydrogen bonding between water molecules. Therefore, soap water has lower surface tension than fresh water.

The correct option should state that Statement-I is true, but Statement-II is false.
