Explanation:

Statement 1: These are Prakriti and Purusha respectively. Prakriti and Purusha are completely independent and absolute.According to this system, Purusha is mere consciousness, hence it cannot be modified or changed.Prakriti on the other hand is constituted of three attributes, thought, movement and the change or transformation of these attributes brings about the change in all objects.
Statement 2 and 3: The Samkhya philosophy tries to establish some relationship between Purusha and Prakriti for explaining the creation of the universe.The propounder of this philosophy was Kapila, who wrote the Samkhya sutra.Infact Samkhya school explained the phenomena of the doctrine of evolution.
