Solution

The correct option is C 1 and 3 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Pressure Gradient is a change in pressure measured across a given distance. The pressure gradient results in a net force that is directed from high to low pressure that is called the Pressure Gradient Force (PGF).

Statement 2 is incorrect: Pressure Gradient Force can’t exist without a pressure difference. As when pressure is different in different locations, a difference in pressure exists and when a pressure difference exists, a pressure gradient exists.

Statement 3 is correct: PGF is the driving force for the wind. Due to PGF wind flow from high pressure to low pressure.
