Detailed Solution

Statement - I is true because usually, for acrylic systems trans-isomers are more stable than cis-isomers. This is due to increased unfavourable steric interaction of the substituents in cis-isomer.

Statement - II is also true because generally the dipole moment of trans-form is zero (or less) depending whether the substituents on both sides of double bond are same or not while cis-forms are polar in nature with certain value of dipole moment.
