Statement I: Mechanical work can be converted completely into heat.

Statement II: Heat cannot be converted completely into work in a cyclic process.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Friction (or stirring) converts all of the work done into heat, so Statement I is true. Statement II is the Kelvin-Planck limit for heat to work in a cycle, which is also true.
