Option 2 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

Our constitution does not classify the ministers into four ranks viz. Cabinet Minister, Minister of State with Independent Charge, Minister of State, and Deputy Minister. We follow this classification from England but it was nowhere written in our constitution. Only the Council of Ministers is mentioned in Article 74.
- Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
As mentioned in the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha - “Minister” means a member of the Council of Ministers (and includes a member of the Cabinet), a Minister of State, a Deputy Minister or a Parliamentary Secretary.
91st amendment 2003 - The total number of Ministers, including the Prime Minister, in the Council of Ministers, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of members of the House of the People.
- Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Article 74 - A Council of Ministers, led by the Prime Minister, will assist and advise the President in the performance of his duties.
The Council of Ministers consists of Cabinet Ministers, Deputy Ministers, and Ministers of State.
The word cabinet appears only once in our Indian constitution, in Article 352 (3).

Cabinet Ministers - Many senior ministers occupy significant responsibilities like defence, home affairs, and education in the cabinet. A member of the executive branch of a government who has been nominated to the cabinet, which is made up of the prime minister's top policymakers, advisers, and overseers of government ministries.
Deputy Ministers - A deputy minister works "under" a minister, who is a full member of the Cabinet and is in charge of a specific standing policy portfolio, as well as overseeing a connected civil service department.
Minister of State - A Minister of State is a junior minister in the Union Government's Council of Ministers who may assist a cabinet minister or have independent charge of a ministry.
