A circular solid shaft of span $$L=5m$$ is fixed at one end and free at the other end. A twisting moment $$T=100$$ $$kN$$-$$m$$ is applied at the free end. The torsional rigidity $$GJ$$ per unit angular twist is $$50000$$ $$kN$$-$${m^2}/rad.$$ Following statements are made for this shaft:

$$1.$$ The maximum rotation is $$0.01$$ radius
$$2.$$ The torsional strain energy is $$1$$ $$kN$$-$$m.$$

With reference to the above statements, which of the following applies?

A
Both statements are true
B
Statement $$1$$ is true but $$2$$ is false
C
Statement $$2$$ is true but $$1$$ is false
D
