{'third such summit': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'africa summit': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'jawaharlal nehru': [11, 2, 14, 10], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is Option 1, which suggests that only the first statement is correct. India-Africa Summit held in 2015 was indeed the third such summit. The first India-Africa Forum Summit took place in New Delhi, India in 2008, and the second in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2011.

Option 2 is incorrect. The India-Africa Summit was not initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1951. Rather, the first summit was held in 2008 as a collaborative initiative between India and several African nations to increase trade and investments, with a focus on areas like education, health, and agriculture.

So, Options 3 and 4 are also incorrect as they include the incorrect Statement 2. The third option incorrectly assumes both statements are true, while the fourth option incorrectly assumes both statements are false.
