Answer: (A) 1 only

Statement 1 is correct: the Eighth Schedule lists the languages recognised by the Constitution, now 22 in number, including Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri added by the 92nd Amendment. Statement 2 is wrong as Hindi is only one among them, and the list includes Tamil, Sanskrit, Urdu and others.
