Q. 9.

  1. Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

  2. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

  3. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

  4. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

Answer: (4)
