The correct answer is option 1, which states that a new state can be formed by the Parliament of India through a simple majority and by following the ordinary legislative process.

Option 2 mentions two procedures:

- The recommendation of the President, who usually refers the bill to the legislature of the state(s) that will be affected by the proposed changes. This is not a true procedure because the President`s recommendation is not required for the formation of a new state.

- The mention of the bill being referred to the legislature of the state(s) affected is not a true procedure either, as there is no requirement for the bill to be referred to the state legislature.

Option 3 mentions the procedure of the Prime Minister advising the President. This is also not a true procedure as the advice of the Prime Minister is not required for the formation of a new state.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately states that a new state can be formed by the Parliament of India through a simple majority and the ordinary legislative process.
