1&2 only

2&3 only

1&3 only

All of the above

Explanation:

Both statements 1&2 are correct.

Nominated Candidates to Rajya Sabha
Nominated members of Rajya Sabha enjoy all the powers and privileges to which the elected MPs are entitled.
They can take part in the proceedings of the House in the normal manner.
Nominated members are not allowed to vote in the election of the President.
They do have the right to vote in the election of the Vice-President, however.
While a nominated member can join a political party within six months of taking his/ her seat in the House, even those who remain technically independent are assumed to be aligned with the ruling regime.

Hence option 1st is correct.
