    Explanation:

    - Statement 1: The Treaty of Amritsar (1809) did fix the Sutlej River as the boundary between the Sikh dominion of Ranjit Singh (Punjab) and British India.

    - Statement 2: This statement is incorrect. The treaty actually limited Maharaja Ranjit Singh's expansion to the north of the Sutlej. His later annexations of Jammu, Multan, and Kashmir happened, but not as a direct result of this treaty—it rather confined his ambitions towards the east and south.

    - Option 1 (1 only): Correct Answer

    - Option 2 (2 only): Incorrect. Statement 2 is wrong.

    - Option 3 (Both 1 and 2): Incorrect. Only Statement 1 is true.

    - Option 4 (Neither 1 nor 2): Incorrect. Statement 1 is correct.
