Explanation:

A War broke out in May 1790 between the English and Tipu. It was fought in three phases.The third phase of the war began when timely aid from the Marathas with plenty of provisions helped him to resume his campaign and marched against Srirangapattinam again.Tipu Sultan concluded the Treaty of Srirangapattinam with the British.
Statement 1 and 2: The terms of the treaty were as follows:
(i) Tipu had to give up half his dominions; (ii) He had to pay a war indemnity of three crore rupees and surrender two of his sons as hostages to the English; and (iii) Both sides agreed to release the prisoners of war.
Statement 3: The Treaty of Srirangapattinam is a significant event in the history of South India. The British secured a large territory on the Malabar Coast. In addition, they obtained the Baramahal district and Dindugal.
After this war, although the strength of Mysore had been reduced, it was not extinguished. Tipu had been defeated but not destroyed.
