{'satyagraha': [4, 0, 3, 4], 'gandhiji': [12, 0, 0, 5], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 3: Both 1 and 2

Statement 1 states that Satyagraha was first experimented by Gandhiji in South Africa. This statement is correct. Mahatma Gandhi first developed the concept and practice of Satyagraha during his time in South Africa. He used it as a nonviolent method of resistance against racial discrimination and injustice.

Statement 2 states that Satyagraha was first experimented in India at Champaran. This statement is also correct. After returning to India, Gandhi implemented Satyagraha as a tool for social and political change. The first major campaign where Satyagraha was used in India was the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917. It was a mass movement against the forced indigo cultivation by British planters, and it marked the beginning of Gandhi`s active involvement in the Indian independence struggle.

Both these statements are factual and accurate, so option 3 is the correct answer.

Alert - correct answer should be 1 only: If you believe that statement 2 is incorrect and Satyagraha was not first experimented in India at Champaran.
