Explanation:

Based on the statements provided and the context mentioned regarding the report by Azim Premji University:

1. The first statement about life expectancy among the poorest being lower by 9.1 years for men and 6.2 years for women is specific and would need to be verified against the report for accuracy.

2. The second statement regarding the proportion of India's population that lives in urban areas and the statistical growth figures is a historical fact that can be verified.

If both statements are indeed corroborated by the report, then the correct answer would be:

Both 1 and 2

However, without access to the report or verified data, I cannot conclusively state which option is correct. You would need to check the report for specific details on both life expectancy and urban population statistics to determine the accuracy of the statements.
