Explanation

According to Article 77 of the Constitution of India, The President shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of India, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business. Hence statement one is correct.

Article 53 of the Indian Constitution deals with the Executive power of the Union.

Hence statement two is incorrect.
