In eukaryotes, there are at least three RNA polymerase in the nucleus (in addition to the RNA polymerase found in the organelles). There is clear cut division of labour. RNA polymerase I transcribes rRNAs ( 
, and 5.8 S ), whereas the RNA polymerase III is responsible for transcription of tRNA, 5 SrRNA and SnRNAs. The RNA polymerase II transcribes precursor of mRNA. Hence statement I and statement II, both are correct.
