Step-by-step explanation
Methyl orange is a weak acid. Additionally, in acidic conditions, methyl orange exists in the quinonoid form, which is red in color. In alkaline conditions, it exists in the benzenoid form, which is yellow in color. Since red is more deeply coloured than yellow, Statement-2 is wrong.
