A
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1.
B

C
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false.
D
Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true.

Correct explanation is

$|E_{1} - E_{n_{1}}| > |E_{2} - E_{n_{2}}| > |E_{3} - E_{n_{3}}| > |E_{4} - E_{n_{4}}| > |E_{5} - E_{n_{5}}|$

$n_{1} = 2, 3, 4 . . . . . . n_{2} = 3, 4, 5 . . . . . . n_{3} = 4, 5, 6 . . . . . . n_{4} = 5, 6, 7 . . . . . . n_{5} = 6, 7, 8 . . . . . . .$
