Answer 1

This works like a charm

inputname:
{
    required: function(){
        if($("select[name=inputname]").val() == 1){
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

You can edit the inputname to yours prefered.

To change it to input field, you can change the select part to input
