Statement-I: Due to diffused or irregular reflection of light, a closed room gets light even if no direct sunlight falls inside the room.
Statement-II: Irregular reflection, where the reflected rays are not parallel, does not follow the laws of reflection.

Statement II is false. Irregular reflection (diffused reflection) occurs when light strikes a rough or uneven surface. While the reflected rays scatter in various directions, *each individual ray* still obeys the laws of reflection: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the incident ray, the normal to the surface at the point of incidence, and the reflected ray all lie in the same plane. The scattering happens because the normals to the surface at different points are oriented in different directions.
