Solution

Commercially potassium permanganate is prepared by the alkaline oxidative fusion of MnO2 followed by the electrolytic oxidation of manganate (Vl).

MnO2→ Fused with KOH. oxldised  with air or KNO3MnO42-  MnO42-→ Electrolytic oxidation in  alkalline solution MnO4-

                                               manganate ion manganate                  permanganate ion

So that Both Statement I and Statement II are true
