Explanation:

The first statement is incorrect. A trellis drainage pattern is not characterized by primary tributaries flowing perpendicular to each other. Instead, it typically occurs in regions with alternating bands of hard and soft rock, where tributaries join larger rivers at right angles, resembling a garden trellis.

The second statement is correct. Loktak Lake in Manipur is an example of a centripetal drainage pattern, where streams and rivers flow towards a central lake or basin, converging from different directions.
