Solution
Both S1 and S2 are grammatically correct.
S1 is correct because "their" is often used as a singular pronoun in English, especially in informal contexts. This usage is becoming more accepted in formal English as well.
S2 is correct because "his" can be used as a singular pronoun when the gender of the person is known to be male. However, if the gender is not known or is mixed, it is more appropriate to use "their".
So, the answer is "Both S1 and S2".
