Explanation:

3rd statement is incorrect because Article 20 contains one provision i.e. no ex-post-facto law which states that no person shall be (i) convicted of any offence except for violation of a law in force at the time of the commission of the act, nor (ii) subjected to a penalty greater than that prescribed by the law in force at the time of the commission of the act.

An ex-post-facto law is one that imposes penalties restrospectively (retroactively), that is, upon acts already done or which increases the penalties for such acts. The enactment of such a law is prohibited by the first provision of Article 20.
