Statement I is true because isoquants represent the various combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output, and if they crossed, it would mean that one input could produce two different levels of output, which is impossible. Statement II is false because the distance of an isoquant from the origin only represents the level of output relative to other isoquants; it doesn't necessarily mean that a point twice as far away from the origin produces twice the level of output.
