Question

Given below are two statements :\ Statement I : Retardation factor $\left(R_{f}ight)$ can be measured in meter/centimeter.\ Statement II : $R_{f}$ value of compound remains constant in all solvents.\ Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.\

(c) : $R_{f}$ value is unitless as this is the ratio of two distances. Besides, $R_{f}$ value depends on polarity of solvent, so its value changes with solvent used.\
