Explanation:

Recently, ISRO paid tribute to Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the Father of India's Space Programme, in a special way by announcing that Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter has captured the Moon images of “Sarabhai” Crater. "Sarabhai" Crater is named after Dr Vikram Sarabhai. To the 300km east of this crater lie the landing sites of American Apollo 17 and Soviet-launched Luna 21 missions. The Crater has a depth of around 1.7 Kms taken from its raised rim and the slope of Crater walls is in between 25 to 35 degree. These findings will help the Space Scientists to understand further the process on the lunar region filled with lava. Hence only statement 2 is correct.
