Matching the χ2\chi^2 degrees of freedom to the estimated mean

Let X1,X2,…,XnX_1,X_2,\dots,X_n be a random sample from N(μ,σ2)N(\mu,\sigma^2), μ\mu is unknown and σ2>0\sigma^2>0. Let qn,αq_{n,\alpha} be the (1−α)(1-\alpha)th quantile of χ(n)2\chi^2_{(n)} distribution. Consider the tests for testing H0:σ2≤1H_0:\sigma^2\le1 Vs. H1:σ2>1H_1:\sigma^2>1: T1T_1: Reject H0H_0 if and only if ∑i=1n(Xi−Xˉ)2>qn−1,α\sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-\bar X)^2> q_{n-1,\alpha} and T2T_2: Reject H0H_0 if and only if ∑i=1n(Xi−Xˉ)2>qn,α\sum_{i=1}^n(X_i-\bar X)^2>q_{n,\alpha} then which of the following statements is correct?
