Select the correct statements from the codes given below:
Answer:
Only 1 & 3
Notes:
- True - Ginkgo biloba is considered a living fossil, as it is the sole survivor from an ancient group of evolutionary trees.
- False - Ginkgo is not the source of sago/sabudana. Sago is extracted from the pith of sago palm trees, not from Ginkgo.

So statements 1 and 3 are correct about Ginkgo biloba, while statement 2 is incorrect.
