Explanation:

Only 1

The first statement is correct. The Rashtrakutas did indeed allow Muslim traders to settle in their dominions, and they permitted Islam to be preached. This reflects the religious and cultural diversity that existed in their empire.

The second statement is incorrect. Amoghavarsha, the greatest ruler of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, was known for his religious tolerance and patronage of various faiths, including Jainism. He was not a staunch Hindu in the sense that he exclusively patronized Hinduism and disregarded other faiths.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct
