Solution

Both the statements are correct.

Explanation:

Statement 1: Distilled water is a poor conductor of electricity because it is pure and does not contain any impurities or ions which are responsible for the conduction of electricity. However, when common salt (which dissociates into ions) is added to it, it becomes a good conductor of electricity.

Statement 2: Solutions of acids, bases and salts can conduct electricity. This is because they dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. These ions are responsible for the conduction of electricity. Therefore, this statement is also correct.
