Explanation:

Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect: The Painted Grey Ware culture (PGW) is an Iron Age culture of the Gangetic plain and the Ghaggar-Hakra valley, lasting from roughly 1200 BCE to 600 BCE. It is contemporary to, and a successor of the Black and red ware culture.These were high quality earthenware not metalwares.
Statement 3&4 are correct: Characterized by a style of fine, grey pottery painted with geometric patterns in black,this culture is associated with village and town settlements (but without large cities like those of the Harappans), domesticated horses, ivory-working, and the advent of iron metallurgy. While the main concentration of sites is in Indian Punjab, Haryana, north-eastern Rajasthan and the upper Ganges-Jamuna basin in Uttar Pradesh, the occurrence of some sites has been reported from as far west as in Sind and Harappa in southern Punjab, both in Pakistan.
