The correct answer is option 1

Explanation:

The statements were:

  1. The District Forum entertains complaints where the value is under Rs. 50 lakhs
  2. State Govt. can establish more than one District Forum in a district
  3. One of the members of District Forum shall be a woman

Analyzing these:

Statement 1 is incorrect, as the value limit is Rs. 1 crore, not 50 lakhs.

Statement 2 is correct. State govt can set up more than one District Forum.

Statement 3 is correct. Having a woman member is not mandatory, though there is usually one.

So statement 1 is factually incorrect.
