Solution
The Nizamat of Arcot was created under the Nizam of Hyderabad; however, the precise wording 'emerged out of Hyderabad State' is considered incorrect by UPSC. The Mysore Kingdom under the Wodeyars emerged out of the Vijayanagara Empire (Statement 2 correct). The Rohilkhand kingdom was carved out by Afghan Rohillas, not from territories occupied by Ahmad Shah Durrani (Statement 3 incorrect).
