    Explanation:

    Ratio of distribution of money among A, B and C is p : q : r.
    Considering statement 1:
    If p > (q + r), then p is definitely the largest number.
    So, A must have got the maximum share. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
    Considering statement 2:
    If r < (p + q), then r may or may not be the smallest number.
    For example, 5 < (2 + 4)
    So, C may or may not have got the minimum share. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
