{'infantiy regiment': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mechanized infantry regiment': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'army service corps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'army medical corps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'army dental corps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'corps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'army': [3, 0, 5, 5], 'own corps': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'divisions': [0, 1, 0, 1], 'engineers': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'mechanical engineers': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'electrical': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that the Infantiy Regiment is also known as the Mechanized Infantry Regiment. This statement is incorrect. The Mechanized Infantry Regiment is a separate regiment and not a variation or alternative name for the Infantiy Regiment.

Option 2 states that the Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers is subsumed in the Corps of Engineers. This statement is correct. The Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (EME) is indeed a part of the Corps of Engineers in the Indian Army. The EME is responsible for the maintenance, repairs, and support of electrical and mechanical equipment used by the Army.

Option 3 states that the Army Medical Corps and Army Dental Corps are two divisions of the Army Service Corps. This statement is incorrect. The Army Medical Corps and Army Dental Corps are separate branches within the Indian Army. The Army Service Corps is responsible for the logistical support and supply within the Army.

Option 4 states that the Army has its own Corps of Air Defence. This statement is not mentioned in the question but can be inferred as incorrect. The Indian Army does not have a separate Corps of Air Defence. Air defence operations in the Indian Army are carried out by the Corps of Artillery.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
