To determine the truth of the statements, we need to analyze the players' performances in the matches based on the given conditions. Let's first break down what we know from the comprehension:
- The goals were scored across 8 matches, totaling 12 goals, with each player scoring at least one goal, and all players had different total scores.
- Only one goal was scored in every even-numbered match. Hence, Matches 2, 4, 6, and 8 each have exactly 1 goal.
- Harita scored more goals than Bimla.
- The top scorer had goals in exactly 3 matches, including Match 4 and Match 8.
- Bimla scored in four matches: initially in Match 1 and then in three consecutive matches.
- Matches 3 and 7 had the same number of goals, differing from Matches 1 and 5.
- The match with the most goals scored was unique and not Match 5.
Now let's analyze the players:
- From the provided conditions, consider Bimla's scoring pattern: if she scored in Match 1 and in three consecutive matches thereafter, this would require goals in Matches 1, 3, 5, and 7 (since even matches only have one goal each by someone else).
- Since Matches 3 and 7 have an equal number of goals, it's logical Bimla could have scored 2 goals, one in each of these (for simplicity, assume equal contribution matching the parity described).
- For Harita to have scored more than Bimla, and since Bimla's scored 4 goals in Matches 1, 3, 5, and 7, then Harita can be the player scoring the highest if her total exceeds Bimla's and includes the conditions of highest scorer (though we don't place her conclusively yet).
- Using the rules for the highest scorer, they could have scored in Matches 4 and 8 plus another odd match (say Match 1 or 5) which means Harita potentially scored in Match 8.
- This leaves us to decide between Amla and Sarita filling in other known gaps like Match 2, 4, 6. Assuming Harita as a higher scorer means Harita unlikely scored in Matches 2, and 6, since these would carry different spread patterns for her higher total in other matches, Amla and Sarita might fill in even slots.
Given Harita scored more and likely the highest; she didn't score in Matches 2 or 6 (which were maybe Amla's & Sarita's domain). Due to spreading and Sarita's condition of never aligning with Harita's goals:
- Since conditions don't disfavor Amla in shared matches, Sarita actually can only land scoring outside Harita’s lower and higher slots, while never sharing a match entirely, due to even-ness and spread preferences.
- 'Switching' across slots of independent scoring (or only rotating) shows it aligns that Bimla focuses on independent poetry, so she won't overlap. The solution defaults more open for revealed sharing: so Sarita can't score together with Harita, nor manage with 3.
- Therefore, both statements are true: "Amla and Sarita never scored goals in the same match" as well as "Harita and Sarita never scored goals together” fits non-overlapping style with restriction adjustment.
Hence, the correct option is: Both the statements.
