Explanation:

President has no such discretionary powers (hence, statement 1 and 2 is wrong).President can act on his discretion (that is, without the advice of the ministers) under the following situations:
1) Appointment of Prime Minister when no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha or when the Prime Minister in office dies suddenly and there is no obvious successor.
2) Dismissal of the council of ministers when it cannot prove the confidence of the Lok Sabha.
3) Dissolution of the Lok Sabha if the council of ministers has lost its majority.
With respect to the government bills when the cabinet resigns (after the passage of the bills but before the assent by the President) and the new cabinet can advise the President not to give his assent to such bills.
