A.1, 2 and 3
B.1, 2 and 4

Correct Answer: Option A
The 71st Amendment Act, 1992 added three languages to the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution: Konkani, Manipuri (Meitei), and Nepali.
The 92nd Amendment Act of 2003 further added Bodo, Dogri, Santhali, and Maithili, bringing the total number of official languages to 22.
Therefore, statement 1 (Konkani), statement 2 (Manipuri), and statement 3 (Nepali) are correct. Statement 4 (Maithili) is incorrect as it was added by the 92nd Amendment.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
