Answer 1

Statements (b) and (d) are not true.
Lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon and solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon.
The number of lunar eclipse per calender year can vary from two to five if penumbral lunar eclipses are counted.
Solar eclipses can occur at least 2 and no more than 5 times a year.
