Detailed Solution

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

Agl is yellow and AgCl is white because Agl is yellow in colour, whereas is white. . Reduced electrical conduction is the result. The polarisation rises with increasing anion size, which also enhances the compound's colour intensity. As a result AgCl produces a white colour and Agl a yellow colour. 

Hence correct option is A.
