Detailed Solution

 In electrophilic substitution reactions of benzene electrophile forms sigma bond with benzene ring generating positively charged arenium ion containing one sp3 hybridised carbon atom, and according to huckel rule arenium is no longer aromatic it becomes non aromatic, so statement 1 is correct. In arenium ion there is one sp3 hybridised carbon atom remaining five are sp2 hybridised.
