Explanation:

Statement 1st is correct: Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) representation is a hybrid electoral system that combines elements of first-past-the-post (FPTP) and proportional representation (PR). Under MMP, some representatives are elected from single-member districts using FPTP, while others are elected from party lists to ensure proportionality in the overall representation.
Statement 2nd is correct: In MMP systems, voters usually have two votes. The first vote is for a political party, which determines the proportional representation of parties in the legislature. The second vote is for a candidate to represent their local constituency.
Statement 3rd is incorrect: In India MMP has not been followed anywhere.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
