The correct answer is option 2 - "2 only".

In the given question, statement 1 is incorrect. The "Objectives Resolution" was actually moved by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, not Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The Objectives Resolution, also known as the Preamble of the Constitution, was moved on December 13, 1946.

Statement 2 is correct. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar did serve as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution. He held this position in his capacity as the Law Minister.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
