The correct answer is option 2, which means statement 2 only is correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Golden Quadrilateral is a national highway network connecting four major metropolitan cities of India, namely Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. Bengaluru is not part of the Golden Quadrilateral.

Statement 2 is correct. The North-South Corridor, also known as the National Highway 9 (NH 9), is a major highway that passes through Hyderabad, connecting Srinagar in the north to Kanyakumari in the south.

In summary, the given statements imply that only statement 2 is correct. The Golden Quadrilateral does not include Bengaluru, and the North-South Corridor does pass through Hyderabad.
