Detailed Solution

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

NO has an oxidation state of +1in the brown ring complex.

Let oxidation state of Fe be x. 

Given that FeH2O5NO+ has a +2 overall charge on the coordination sphere, the total amount of oxidation

All of its constituent parts should have states of +2.

Therefore,
x+1=+2x=+1

Thus, oxidation state of iron is changing from +2 to + 1 in the brown ring complex. Hence, option D is correct.
