Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Only 1 and 4

 

  • Correct: The Governor can dissolve the State Legislative Assembly, usually on the advice of the state Council of Ministers.

  • Incorrect: The President does have the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha, but this is done on the advice of the Union Council of Ministers, so the statement as given is wrong.

  • Incorrect: The President cannot dissolve the Rajya Sabha under normal circumstances, as it is a permanent body; dissolution occurs only if the body is otherwise reconstituted or in rare procedural cases.
