Explanation:

Constitution under article 243ZE provides that there shall be constituted in every Metropolitan area a Metropolitan Planning Committee to prepare a draft development plan for the Metropolitan area as a whole.

The Legislature of a State may, by law, make provision with respect to:-

the composition of the Metropolitan Planning Committees;

the manner in which the seats in such Committees shall be filled:

Provided that not less than two-thirds of the members of such Committee shall be elected by, and from amongst, the elected members of the Municipalities and Chairpersons of the Panchayats in the Metropolitan area in proportion to the ratio between the population of the Municipalities and of the Panchayats in that area.

No such provision exists. The Legislature of a State may, by law, make provision with respect to the manner in which the Chairpersons of such Committees shall be chosen.

Hence only staement 1st is correct.
