Explanation:

First statement is correct.
The Supreme Court exercises mainly four types of jurisdiction – original jurisdiction, writ jurisdiction, appellate jurisdiction, advisory jurisdiction and revisory jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction is exercised to settle disputes between Centre and States and between States.

Second statement is wrong.
If the Supreme Court expresses an opinion on a matter referred by the President, it is advisory jurisdiction. It does not come within the purview of original jurisdiction.
