Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2(1)(k) of the Patents Act, 1970 defines "legal representative" as "a person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person". A person who files an application on another's behalf is an agent or authorised person, not a legal representative. So Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
