Parliament may by law provide for the abolition or creation of the Legislative Council. (Correct)

According to Article 169 of the Indian Constitution, Parliament may by law provide for the abolition or creation of Legislative Councils in States.

Legislative Assembly should pass a resolution by a majority of the total membership and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Assembly present and voting. (Correct)

Before Parliament can pass a law for the creation or abolition of a Legislative Council, the concerned State Legislative Assembly should pass a resolution with a specified majority, as mentioned in the statement.

This kind of law passed by Parliament will be an amendment of the Constitution as in Article 368. (Incorrect)

The provision for creation or abolition of Legislative Councils (Article 169) is not considered an amendment of the Constitution as mentioned in Article 368. It is a special provision that allows Parliament to pass a law on this matter.

Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 2.
