Explanation

The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added four new Directive Principles to the Constitution: Article 39 (opportunities for healthy development of children), Article 39A (free legal aid), Article 43A (participation of workers in management), and Article 48A (protection of environment). Minimizing inequalities in income and status was added later by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 under Article 38. Therefore, only statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
