Explanation:

In the collegiums system, Judges appoint judges and there is no role of executive. So, statement 1 and 3 are incorrect. It has been argued that the collegiums system has lead to submissiveness of the puisne judges as they may not want to go against their senior judges who may appoint them to higher positions later.
