Explanation

- Statement 1 is incorrect: According to Article 243V, the minimum age for a person to be eligible for election as a member of a municipality is 21 years. While the age for contesting Legislative Assembly elections is 25, the Constitution specifically provides that no person shall be disqualified for being a member of a Municipality if they have attained the age of 21 years.
- Statement 2 is correct: Article 243T mandates that not less than one-third of the total number of seats to be filled by direct election in every municipality shall be reserved for women. This includes the seats reserved for women belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
