The correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 only is correct.

Statement 1 claims that Smt. Pratibha Patil became the first Indian President to make an official visit to Mongolia in July 2011. However, this statement is incorrect. Smt. Pratibha Patil did visit Mongolia in July 2011, but she was not the first Indian President to do so.

Statement 2 states that India and Mongolia agreed to expand collaboration in the area of defense through increased level of joint exercises and training. This statement is correct. During Smt. Pratibha Patil`s visit, India and Mongolia did agree to enhance cooperation in defense by increasing joint exercises and training.

To summarize, option 2 is the correct answer as statement 2 is correct while statement 1 is incorrect.
