Explanation:

Neither 1 nor 2

The first statement is incorrect. The creation of a Legislative Council doesn't solely require a resolution passed by the State Legislative Assembly by a simple majority. It involves a more complex process, including approval by the Parliament of India, as per Article 169 of the Indian Constitution.

The second statement is incorrect as well. While the creation of a Legislative Council does require a constitutional amendment, this amendment alone is not sufficient. The state legislative assembly's resolution and approval from the Parliament are also necessary.

Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct
