Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
One may pluck mangoes or guavas from the trees. However, grain seeds are much smaller than mangoes or guavas. By using the method of handpicking, it will be very difficult and will take a very long time. So, plucking them from their stalks would be impractical and time-consuming.
Hence, statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
