Uncertainty in the position of an electron (mass $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$) moving with a velocity $300 \ ms^{-1}$ accurate up to $0.001 \ \%$ will be $(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s)$.

Given below are two statements $:$
Statement $(I):$ It is impossible to specify simultaneously with arbitrary precision,both the linear momentum and the position of a particle.
Statement $(II) :$ If the uncertainty in the measurement of position and uncertainty in measurement of momentum are equal for an electron,then the uncertainty in the measurement of velocity is $\geq \sqrt{\frac{h}{4\pi}} \times \frac{1}{m}$ which simplifies to $\geq \frac{1}{2m} \sqrt{\frac{h}{\pi}}$. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$
