Detailed Explanation:

Answer: Option 4 — Neither 1 nor 2

Both statements contain constitutional inaccuracies regarding parliamentary participation rights and the tenure of the Attorney General. Statement 1 incorrectly includes the Solicitor General, while Statement 2 misrepresents the constitutional provisions regarding the Attorney General's resignation.

❌ Statement 1 – Incorrect: Article 88 grants the right to participate in Parliament only to Ministers and the Attorney General of India, not the Solicitor General of India. Additionally, other officers like the Comptroller and Auditor General may also be invited to participate in specific contexts.

❌ Statement 2 – Incorrect: Article 76 states that the Attorney General holds office during the pleasure of the President, not linked to the government's tenure. There is no constitutional requirement for automatic resignation when the government changes.
