Explanation

Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a prominent nationalist leader associated with several socio-political organizations and movements. He was a key member of the Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, eventually gaining control of it in the 1890s before the moderates formed the Deccan Sabha. Tilak was also famously associated with the Age of Consent Bill (1891), which he vehemently opposed, arguing that the colonial government should not interfere in Hindu religious and social customs. However, he was not associated with the Atmiya Sabha, which was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1815. The Gaurakshini Sabha (Cow Protection Society) was primarily associated with Dayananda Saraswati and the Arya Samaj movement in North India, rather than Tilak's core activities in Maharashtra. Thus, only statements 1 and 2 are correct regarding his direct associations.
