Explanation:

Let’s break down the statements:

- Statement 1: *It is a statutory body.*

This is correct. TRAI was set up by an Act of Parliament, the TRAI Act, 1997. “Statutory” means it’s established by statute (law).

- Statement 2: *Telecommunications Dispute Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) is formed by separate act to take over the adjudicatory and disputes functions from TRAI.*

This one’s a bit tricky. TDSAT was actually set up under an amendment to the same TRAI Act, not by a separate act. But it’s true that TDSAT took over the disputes role from TRAI.

Examining options:

- If you’re looking for the “incorrect” statement:

- Statement 1 is correct, so not incorrect.

- Statement 2 is partially incorrect because it's not a 'separate act', but otherwise the core idea is true.

So, the answer is:

Option:2, 2 only

What this really means is:

- TRAI is indeed a statutory body.

- TDSAT was set up by an amendment to the same Act, not by a completely separate one.

Hope this clears it up!
