- The President in a Parliamentary form of government, such as India, is the nominal or de jure executive. This means that the President is the ceremonial head of state with duties largely bound by the advice of the Prime Minister and the cabinet. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
- The Prime Minister is the head of government and exercises most executive powers. The Prime Minister leads the executive branch of the government, formulates policies, and directs the administration. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
- The President is indeed the head of state in a Parliamentary form of government, serving as the nation's highest representative. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
- However, the Prime Minister is not the titular executive; that role is held by the President. The Prime Minister is the actual executive authority. Hence, Statement 2 is not correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: Only 1, 3, and 4.
