The correct option is D Only Statement 1 is correct.

Multiply 135 and 12.
Here, 12<1
When a number is multiplied by a fraction less than one, the product is less than the original number.

135=85

135×12=85×12=810=8÷210÷2=45<85

135 is being multiplied by a fraction less than 1.
So, the product of 135 and 12 is less than 135.
So, only Statement 1 is correct.
