Answer

O and O' are centres of two equal circles means they are having same radius.

The points A, B, C and D are shown aligned horizontally forming a single, continuous line.

∴ Statement 1 is true.

According to fundamental property of a circle, in two same circles, the chord that is farther from the center is shorter, and the chord that is closer to the center is longer.

Given, OP ⊥ AB, O'Q ⊥ CD and O'Q > OP.

⇒ CD < AB

∴ Statement 2 is false.

∴ Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
