We have, x2+(2m+1)x+(2n+1)=0             .....(i)

m,nI

 D=b24ac=(2m+1)24(2n+1)

Is never be a perfect square.
Therefore, the roots of Eq. (i) can never be integers. Hence, the roots of Eq. (i) cannot have any rational root as a=1,  b,cI. Hence both statements are true and Statements -2 is a correct explanation of Statement- 1.
