The correct answer is: II and V
According to Arrhenius equation, $\mathrm{k}=\mathrm{Ae}^{-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}} / \mathrm{RT}}$ $\therefore$ when $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}=0, \mathrm{k}=\mathrm{A}$ Also $\ln \mathrm{k}$ vs $1 / \mathrm{T}$ is a straight line with slope $=-$ $\mathrm{E}_2 / \mathrm{R}$. $\therefore$ Statements (ii) and (v) are correct.
