Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Vice President is ex-officio chairman of Rajya Sabha and not a member of the house. Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha is elected by Rajya Sabha from among its members. So Deputy chairman is member of that house.

Statement 2 is correct: Nominated members are not entitled to vote in the election of the President of India. But in the election of the Vice-President of India, they have a right to vote.
