\\ \text { Let } z=x+i y,\; \bar{z}=x-i y \\ \text { Now, } z=1-\bar{z} \\ \Rightarrow x+i y=1-(x-i y) \\ \Rightarrow 2 x=1 \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2} \\\text { Now, }|z|=1 \Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}=1 \Rightarrow y^{2}=1-x^{2} \\ \Rightarrow y=\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\\\text { Now, } \tan \theta=\frac{y}{x}\;\;\;\;(\theta \text { is the argument })\\\tan\theta=\frac{\sqrt3/2}{1/2}=\sqrt3

\\\theta=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}=\frac{\pi}{3} \\

Hence, z is not a real number
So, statement-1 is false and 2 is true.
