The correct answer is option 1: "1 only". Let`s dissect each statement to understand why.

Statement 1: The Amendment procedure has been provided in Article 368 of the Constitution of India.

This statement is correct. Article 368 of the Constitution of India lays down the procedure for amending the Constitution. It outlines the steps and requirements that need to be followed in order to make changes to the Constitution.

Statement 2: The consent of the States is mandatory for all Amendments to the Constitution of India.

This statement is incorrect. The consent of the States is not always mandatory for all amendments to the Constitution of India. In some cases, certain amendments require the consent of the States, while in others, it is not necessary. The requirement for state consent depends on the nature of the amendment and its impact on the federal structure of the country.

In conclusion, only statement 1 is correct, as statement 2 is incorrect.
