The Government of India Act 1919 (Montagu–Chelmsford reforms) introduced a very restricted, property-based electorate and explicitly denied any voting rights to women, so statement 1 is false. The Government of India Act 1935 created provincial legislatures with special (quota) seats reserved for women in several provinces and at the federal level, making statement 2 correct.
