Answer
Given, △ ABC ∼ △ DEF.
We know that,
The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Since, corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.
We know that,
For any two or more equal ratios, each ratio is equal to the ratio between sum of their antecedents and sum of their consequents.
So, statement 1 is false.
The ratio of perimeters of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.
So, statement 2 is false.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
