Answer
A given parallelogram is a rectangle;
If one angle of a parallelogram is 90°, then all angles must be 90° due to the properties of parallelograms (opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary). Therefore, the parallelogram is a rectangle.
If the diagonals of parallelogram are equal, then it is a rectangle.
So, statement 1 is true.
A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.
An arrowhead shape typically refers to a concave quadrilateral, which is not a standard definition of a kite.
So, statement 2 is false.
∴ Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
