Hint: In this question use the direct formula for the curved surface area of frustum of cone. Curved surface area of frustum of cone$\pi \left( {{r_1} + {r_2}} \right)l$.

Complete step-by-step answer:

As we know that the curved surface area (C.S.A) of the frustum is $\pi \left( {{r_1} + {r_2}} \right)l$ $cm^2$………… (1)
Where r2 and r1 are the radius of lower and upper circular parts.
And l = slant height of the frustum.
So from the above formula of the curved surface area of the frustum clearly that statement – 2 is false as in statement 2 slant height is not present in the formula.
Now according to statement – 1 it is given that slant height (l) = 4 cm.
And the perimeter of the circular ends are 18 and 6 cm respectively.
As we know that the perimeter of a circle is$2\pi r$, where r is the radius of the circle.
So the upper circular part of the circle perimeter is $2\pi {r_1}$
$ \Rightarrow 2\pi {r_1} = 18$
$ \Rightarrow {r_1} = \dfrac{{18}}{{2\pi }}$ cm.
Now the lower circular part of the circle perimeter is $2\pi {r_2}$
$ \Rightarrow 2\pi {r_2} = 6$
$ \Rightarrow {r_2} = \dfrac{6}{{2\pi }}$ cm.
So from equation (1) we have,
$ \Rightarrow C.S.A = \pi \left( {{r_1} + {r_2}} \right)l$
Now substitute all the values in this equation we have,
$ \Rightarrow C.S.A = \pi \left( {\dfrac{{18}}{{2\pi }} + \dfrac{6}{{2\pi }}} \right)4 = \pi \left( {\dfrac{{24}}{{2\pi }}} \right)4 = 12 \times 4 = 48$ sq. cm.
Thus statement – 1 is true.
So statement – 1 is true, statement – 2 is false.
Hence option (c) is correct.

Note: Whenever we face such types of problems the key concept is to have a gist of the direct formula of some of the basic conic sections like frustum of cone, sphere, cylindrical etc. This helps save a lot of time while solving such types of problems.
