In an ideal gas, at any particular time, different particles in the gas have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies. This assumption is reasonable because as the particles collide, we expect their speed to change. Even if initial speed of all the particles was same, the molecular collisions will disrupt this uniformity.Hence statement 1 is incorrect and 2 is correct.

Opportunity cost is the cost of other alternative choices for making your interested choice of work. Oppurtunity cost is also called as alternative cost.
