The correct answer is:

1 only.

Statement 1 is correct. Sarojini Naidu, also known as the Nightingale of India, was indeed the first woman President of the Indian National Congress. She served as the President of the Congress in 1925.

Statement 2 is incorrect. The first Muslim President of the Indian National Congress was not Badruddin Tyabji. It was actually Badruddin Tyabji who became the third President of the Indian National Congress in 1887, making statement 2 incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is "1 only."
