2 only

Both 1 and 2

Neither 1 nor 2

Statement 1 is correct: The Act gives a constitutional status to the PRIs. In other words, the state governments are under constitutional obligation to adopt the new panchayati raj system in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Statement 2 is correct: It is a compulsory provision to fix the tenure of five years for Panchayats at all levels.
The tribal dominated states under 5^th and 6^th schedules of the Constitution were, however, given the option either to introduce Panchayati Raj institutions or to continue with their traditional self-government institutions.
