Under the Constitution it is:

Obligatory for the President to seek the advice of the Council of Ministers but is not obliged to follow it.

Obligatory for the President to accept the advice of the Council of Ministers

Not obligatory for the President to seek or accept the advice of the Council of Ministers

Obligatory for the President to seek the advice of the Council of Ministers if his own party is in power

Explanation:

The president of India is bound to follow the advice of the council of Ministers, because the president is nominal head of the state while real executive powers are vested with the Prime Ministers. The advice of the Council of Ministers is binding on the President in a parliamentary executive because the Council of Ministers is an elected executive that has the support of the majority in the legislature. It also emphasises the supreme authority of elected representatives in a Republic. Hence option 4th is correct.
