Statistical Inference — fixed length confidence intervals

Let Xi∼N(μ,σ2)X_i \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2); i=1,2,3,…,ni = 1, 2, 3, …, n. Which of the following statements is/are correct? I. At confidence level (1−α)(1-\alpha) if α\alpha and σ\sigma are known, then we can choose sample size nn to get a confidence interval of a fixed length. II. At confidence level (1−α)(1-\alpha) if σ\sigma is not known, then we cannot choose sample size nn to get a fixed width confidence interval of level (1−α)(1-\alpha). Select the answer using the code given below:
