Solution

The correct option is C
Both 1 and 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: PSLV is designed mainly to deliver the “earth-observation” or “remote-sensing” satellites with a lift-off mass of up to about 1750 Kg to polar orbits of 500-900 Km altitude.

Statement 2 is correct: The GSLV is designed mainly to deliver the communication-satellites to the highly elliptical (typically 250 x 36000 Km) Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). The satellite in GTO is further raised to its final destination, viz., Geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) of about 36000 Km altitude (and zero degrees inclination on the equatorial plane) by firing its in-built on-board engines.
