The statement "Laws made by the centre on the subjects in the Concurrent List will prevail over the laws made by the state on the same subject in case of a conflict" is correct. According to the Indian Constitution, in case of a conflict between laws made by the Centre and the State on Concurrent List subjects, the laws made by the Centre will prevail.

The statement "Only the state can make laws on the subjects mentioned in the State List" is incorrect. While the State List enumerates subjects on which only states can legislate, it doesn't mean that only states can make laws on those subjects. Both the Centre and the states cannot make laws on the subjects mentioned in the State List.

The statement "Centre and State both have legislative powers regarding subjects which are not mentioned in any of the lists in the seventh schedule" is incorrect. If a subject is not mentioned in any of the lists (Union List, State List, Concurrent List), it falls under the Residuary Powers of the Union, which means only the Parliament can legislate on it, not the states.

Therefore, the correct statement is 1 only.
