Explanation:

First statement is incorrect as it is not a permanent body. Article 263 says that President can establish a council if at any time it appears to him that the public interest would be served by its establishment.
Second statement is correct. Prime Minister is the Chairman of the Inter-state Council. Chief Ministers of all the States and Union Territories having Legislative Assemblies, Administrators of Union Territories not having Legislative Assemblies, Governors of States under President’s rule and six Ministers of Cabinet rank in the Union Council of Ministers, nominated by the Chairman of the Council, are members of the Council. Five Ministers of Cabinet rank nominated by the Chairman of the Council are permanent invitees to the Council.
Third statement is incorrect. Its function is advisory unlike that of the court which gives a binding decision.
Fourth statement is incorrect. The council’s function to enquire and advice upon inter-state disputes is complementary to the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction under Article 131 to decide a legal controversy between the governments.
