The correct answer is Option 2 (1 and 2 only). Following the abolition of the monarchy in 2008, Nepal underwent significant symbolic and administrative transitions.

• Statement 1 is correct: The Singha Durbar, which historically served as the residence of the Rana Prime Ministers, was formally established as the administrative hub and the official seat of the Government of Nepal, housing both chambers of Parliament and the Prime Minister’s Office.
• Statement 2 is correct: The Narayanhity Royal Palace, the former primary residence of the Shah monarchs, was vacated and inaugurated as a public museum in 2009 to symbolize the transition from a kingdom to a secular republic.
• Statement 3 is incorrect: While the King’s portrait was removed from Nepalese banknotes, it was replaced by an image of Mount Everest (Sagarmatha), not the Pashupatinath Temple.

Therefore, only the first and second changes are historically accurate regarding the post-monarchy era in Nepal.
