Explanation:

Statement 1: Its maximum strength is fixed at 500 and minimum strength at 60. It means that its strength varies from 60 to 500 depending on population size of the state. So,1 is wrong.

However,in case of Arunachal pradesh,Sikkim and Goa,the minimum number is fixed at 30 and in case of Mizoram and Nagaland,it is 40 and 46 respectively.

Statement 2: Further some members of the legislative assemblies in Sikkim and Nagaland are also elected indirectly.However, in other cases either members are directly elected or nominated (i.e. Anglo-Indians).Hence 2 is also wrong.
