keywords: 

{'wellesley': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'administrative measures': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'total expenditure': [0, 0, 0, 6], 'administration': [6, 1, 11, 15], 'military affairs': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1: "1 only."

Option 1 states that in the six years of Wellesley`s administration, the army accounted for 42.5% of the Company`s total expenditure. This means that a significant portion of the Company`s expenditure during Wellesley`s administration was allocated to the army.

Option 2 states that Wellesley`s administrative measures were restricted to the affairs of the Company and had nothing to do with the commercial and military affairs of the Indian ruling families. This statement is incorrect because Wellesley`s administration did have an impact on the commercial and military affairs of the Indian ruling families. As the Governor-General of India, Wellesley implemented policies and strategies that involved both the Company and the Indian ruling families.

In summary, option 1 is correct as it correctly states the percentage of the Company`s expenditure allocated to the army during Wellesley`s administration. Option 2 is incorrect as it wrongly claims that Wellesley`s administrative measures did not affect the commercial and military affairs of the Indian ruling families.
