Option 4 : Neither 1 nor 2

The correct answer is Neither 1 nor 2.

Statement 1- While the cost of maintaining an army was high, there is no source to identify with the number. So, it's finally up to the UPSC to decide if the first option is correct.
Statement 2 - Lord Wellesley intervened in the administration of the local royal families by his Subsidiary Alliance.
According to this, in exchange for payment or subsidy, the company would place garrison troops in that ruler’s territory to fight against their enemies.
It was accepted by Mysore, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bundi, Macheri, Bharatpur, Oudh, Tanjore, Berar, Peshwa, and the Nizam of Hyderabad.
Hence, the second statement is wrong.

Lord Wellesley (1798 AD-1803 AD ):
- He introduced the system of the Subsidiary alliance.
- Madras Presidency was formed during his tenure.
- The fourth Anglo-Mysore War was fought during his tenure in 1799 AD, and Tipu Sultan died.
- First subsidiary treaty with Nizam of Hyderabad.
- He set up Fort William College in Calcutta in 1800 AD.
  - He was also known as Bengal Tiger.
- He brought the censorship of the Press Act, 1799 AD.
- Treaty of Bassein was signed during his tenure in 1802 AD.
