Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao’s government normalised ties by opening full diplomatic relations with Israel in January 1992, so statement 1 is true. Ariel Sharon’s September 2003 trip was the first ever by an Israeli Prime Minister to India, not the second, making statement 2 false. Therefore only statement 1 is correct (option a).
