Solution

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect. Sikkim integrated fully into India as its 22nd state as per the 36th Constitutional Amendment Act of the Indian Constitution in 1975.

Statement 2 is correct. In 1974, India upgraded Sikkim’s status from protectorate to associate state, allotting to it one seat each in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This happened after the role of Chogyal turned into a titular role.
