Statement 1 is correct because the Speaker may adjourn the House sine die, while summoning after prorogation lies with the President. Statement 2 is correct since the Lok Sabha automatically dissolves after five years unless dissolved earlier or its term is extended during Emergency. Statement 3 is correct as Article 94 allows the Speaker to continue in office until just before the first sitting of the newly-elected House. Hence all three statements are correct.
