Explanation:

Statehood of Goa: The territory of Goa was formally integrated into the Indian Union after the parliament passed 12th Amendment Act to the Constitution of India in 1963, giving the status of a Union Territory to Goa, Daman and Diu. There was a referendum held in 1967 in Goa to let people Goa choose between continuing as a UT or to merge with Maharashtra. This referendum, which is the only referendum to have been conducted in independent India, is famously known as Goa Opinion Poll. People of Goa chose to continue as a UT. On 30th May 1987, Goa was separated from Daman and Diu and became Indian Union’s 25th state. Daman and Diu was kept as a union territory only in the Indian Union.Hence both statements are correct.
