1&3 only

All of the above

Only statements 1&3 are correct.

The Nehru-Liaquat Pact is also known as the Delhi Pact or the Agreement of Non-Aggression.
It was a bilateral agreement signed between India and Pakistan in order to provide a framework for the treatment of minorities in the two countries.
It was signed between Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India, and Liaquat Ali Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, on April 8, 1950.
Both countries, under the agreement, agreed not to violate the rules of the pact and to make all efforts to reinforce it.

Why was the pact signed?

Communal tensions and violence had erupted between Hindus and Muslims following the partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947.
The need for such a pact was felt by minorities in both countries following Partition, which was accompanied by massive communal rioting.
Even in 1950, three years after the Partition was announced, some estimates say that over a million Hindus and Muslims migrated to and from East Pakistan (present day Bangladesh), amidst unspoken violence and communal tensions.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
