Explanation:

1st statement is incorrect because the Speaker is elected by the Lok Sabha from amongst its members (as soon as may be, after its first sitting).
Whenever the office of the Speaker falls vacant, the Lok Sabha elects another member to fill the vacancy. The date of election of the Speaker is fixed by the President.
