    Explanation:

    Both statements are incorrect.

    • The development of the Pinaka multi-barrel rocket systems was started by the DRDO in the late 1980s, as an alternative to the Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher systems of Russian make called the ‘Grad’, which are still used by some regiments. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.
    • The Pinaka, a Multi-Barrel Rocket-Launcher (MBRL) system named after Shiva’s bow, can fire a salvo of 12 rockets over a period of 44 seconds.
    • The existing Pinaka system, which is already in the Army, has a range of up to 35-37km. 

    Hence option 4th is correct.
