Solution

The correct option is A Only statement $1$
Concept: If two lines are cut by a transversal then for the two lines to be parallel:
(1) Its corresponding angles must be equal.
(2) Its alternate interior angles must be equal.
(3) Sum of its co-interior angles must be $180^{o}$ .

Hence, statement $1$ is NOT correct.
Statement $2$ is correct.
