Consider the following statements regarding ionic molar conductivities : Statement–1 : The Walden's rule holds good for tetramethylammonium ion and picrate ion. Statement–2 : The effective radii of tetramethylammonium ion and picrate ion in the solvent are larger and very different from the crystallographic radii of the ions. Which one of the following is correct with respect to the above statements?

(a) Both Statement–1 and Statement–2 are true and Statement–2 is the correct explanation of Statement–1

(b) Both Statement–1 and Statement–2 are true and Statement–2 is not the correct explanation of Statement–1
