Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) 1 and 3
Nehru headed four successive ministries (1947-52, 1952-57, 1957-62 and 1962-64) and died during his fourth term, so Statement 1 is correct. He was elected from Phulpur, not Rae Bareli, making Statement 2 incorrect. Morarji Desai of the Janata Party became the first non-Congress Prime Minister on 24 March 1977, so Statement 3 is correct; therefore only Statements 1 and 3 are correct.
