Statement 1: When a node is split during insertion, the middle key is promoted to the parent as well as retained in right half-node. Statement 2: When a key is deleted from the leaf, it is also deleted from the non-leaf nodes of the tree.

Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false
During the split, the middle key is retained in the right half node and also promoted to parent node. When a key is deleted from the leaf, it is retained in non-leaves, because it can be still a valid separator between keys in nodes below.
