Explanation

Statement 1 is wrong Article 88: Attorney General of India shall have the right to speak and participate in either House but without right to vote. No mention of Solicitor General of India. Statement 2 is wrong Article 76: The Attorney General shall hold office during the pleasure of the President. So Attorney General need not resign if the government resigns.
