Explanation:

Statement 4 is incorrect : Article 85(1) states that “The President shall from time to time summon each House of Parliament to meet at such time and place as he thinks fit, but six months shall not intervene between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session.” The power to summon, prorogue or dissolve the Lok Sabha is vested in the President. He exercises this power on the recommendation of the Prime Minister or the Cabinet. Similar is the case with the governor as well.
