   Only 1

   Option (a) states that only statement 1 is correct. This is the official key because Deakin University from Australia is indeed set to become the very first foreign university to establish an independent branch campus in India.

2. B

   Only 2

   Option (b) claims that only statement 2 is correct. This is incorrect because the second statement incorrectly names Maharashtra as the location instead of Gujarat.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (c) asserts that both statements 1 and 2 are correct. This option fails because while the first statement is accurate, the second statement contains an error regarding the state.

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Option (d) maintains that neither statement is correct. This is wrong because the first statement accurately identifies Deakin University's pioneering status in India.

Statement 1 holds true as it marks the entry of the first foreign university campus in India. Options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect due to the factual error in the second statement.
