This question was officially dropped by the UPSC. For reference: Statement 1 is incorrect because the Ryotwari system was introduced by Thomas Munro, not Cornwallis, and it generally lacked built in exemptions for natural calamities. Statement 2 is technically correct under the Sunset Clause of the Permanent Settlement, but the question overall was invalidated.
