According to statement 1, taking angle ABC greater than 90 or less than 90, both can give the probability of getting isosceles triangle as well as scalene. Hence, insufficient.
Statement 2 says, if the median is not perpendicular to AC, it is clear that the triangle is not isosceles. It is because a median of an isosceles triangle is always perpendicular to the opposite side.
Hence, sufficient.
Hence, option B.
