Explanation:

Statements 1 and 2 are not correct: Governor can nominate one member to the state legislature assembly from the Anglo-Indian Community. The judges of a high court are appointed by the President (which means the cabinet) in consultation with the members of the judiciary itself (i.e., chief justice of India and the chief justice of the high court). This provision curtails the absolute discretion of the executive as well as ensures that the judicial appointments are not based on any political or practical considerations. Governor is consulted by the president while appointing the judges of the concerned state high court.
Statement 3 is correct: He decides on the question of disqualification of members of the state legislature in consultation with the Election Commission.
