Explanation

The Right to Equality is enshrined in Articles 14 to 18 of the Indian Constitution [2]. Statement 1 refers to Article 15, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth [1]. Statement 2 refers to Article 16, which guarantees equality of opportunity in matters of public employment [3]. Statement 4 refers to Article 17, which mandates the abolition of untouchability [2]. These three provisions fall strictly within the Article 14-18 range [2]. Conversely, Statement 3 refers to Cultural and Educational Rights, which are covered under Articles 29 and 30 [1]. Since Article 29 and 30 are distinct from the Right to Equality cluster (Articles 14-18), Statement 3 is excluded. Therefore, the correct answer includes statements 1, 2, and 4.
