Detailed Solution

Statement I is incorrect, but statement II is correct

The species that have same number of electrons have same bond order. CO and NO have different bond order.
Number of electrons in CO = 6 + 8 = 14
Number of electrons in NO = 7 + 8 = 15

NO2 and BF3  have same hybridization, i.e. sp2

NO22σ+1lp=3,i.e. sp2hybridized.

BF33σ+0lp=3  i.e. sp2  - hybridized.
