Explanation:

Recently, the Five permanent United Nations Security Council members (China, France, Russia, the U.K. and US) pledged to prevent atomic weapons spreading and to avoid nuclear conflict.

The pledge was made in a rare joint statement ahead of a review of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) 1970.
The statement comes as tensions between Russia and the US have reached heights rarely seen since the Cold War over a troop build-up by Russia close to the Ukrainian border.
The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to foster the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and to further the goal of disarmament.
Presently, it has 190 member states.
The NPT and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) are two of the most important global efforts towards nuclear disarmament. India has not signed NPT and CTBT.

Hence only statement 1st is correct.
