Explanation:

Incorrect: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) does not hold office during the pleasure of the President. He holds office for a term of 6 years or up to the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier, and can be removed only on an address from both Houses of Parliament on the ground of proved misbehavior or incapacity.

Correct: The Attorney General of India holds office during the pleasure of the President. He can be removed by the President at any time, and there is no fixed tenure for his office.

Incorrect: The Advocate General of the State holds office during the pleasure of the Governor of the state, not the President.

Thus, the correct statement is 2 only.
