Option 1 states that John Kenneth Galbraith served as the U.S. Ambassador to India. This statement is correct. Galbraith was, in fact, appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to India by President John F. Kennedy and served from 1961 to 1963. During his tenure, he played a significant role in shaping U.S.-India relations.

Option 2 states that John Kenneth Galbraith was awarded the Padma Vibhushan for his contributions to strengthening ties between India and the United States. This statement is also correct. Galbraith was indeed awarded the Padma Vibhushan, which is one of India`s highest civilian honors, in recognition of his contributions towards fostering friendship and understanding between India and the United States.

Therefore, both statements are correct. John Kenneth Galbraith served as the U.S. Ambassador to India and received the Padma Vibhushan for his efforts in strengthening ties between the two countries. The correct answer is option 3.
