Solution

The incorrect statement is "Both 1 and 2".

Here's why:

  1. Longitudes are not the angular distance of a place from the equator. Instead, they are the angular distance of a place east or west of the Prime Meridian.

  2. Latitudes are not the angular distance of a place from the Prime Meridian. Instead, they are the angular distance of a place north or south of the equator.

So, both statements are incorrect.
