The correct statement about the difference of second and first excited state energies $(\Delta \mathrm{E})$ of a particle in 1-D, 2-D square and 3-D cubic boxes with same length for each, is
(a)$\Delta \mathrm{E}(1-\mathrm{D}$ box) $=\Delta \mathrm{E}(2-\mathrm{D}$ box $)=\Delta \mathrm{E}(3-\mathrm{D}$ box $)$
(b)$\Delta \mathrm{E}(1-\mathrm{D}$ box $)>\Delta \mathrm{E}(2-\mathrm{D}$ box $)>\Delta \mathrm{E}(3-\mathrm{D}$ box $)$
(c)$\Delta \mathrm{E}(1-\mathrm{D}$ box) $>\Delta \mathrm{E}(2-\mathrm{D}$ box $)=\Delta \mathrm{E}(3-\mathrm{D}$ box $)$
(d)$\Delta \mathrm{E}(1-\mathrm{D}$ box) $<\Delta \mathrm{E}(2-\mathrm{D}$ box $)<\Delta \mathrm{E}(3-\mathrm{D}$ box $)$
