The correct answer is C. Both 1 and 2.
Statement 1 is correct because the total forest cover in the state is 15100 sq km.
Statement 2 is also correct because 15100 sq km is 29.73% of the state’s geographical area.
To calculate the percentage of forest cover, we can use the following formula:
Percentage of forest cover = (Forest cover / Geographical area) * 100
In this case, the percentage of forest cover is:
(15100 sq km / 51000 sq km) * 100 = 29.73%
Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct.
