Section 174 of the Companies Act, 2013 prescribes board quorum. Statement 1 is correct—this is the standard quorum requirement.

Statement 4 is correct—Section 174(2) provides that continuing directors can act to appoint additional directors when quorum is not met. Statement 3 is incorrect because Section 174(3) states that when interested directors exceed two-thirds, the non-interested directors present (not less than two) form the quorum; interested directors must recuse themselves and not participate. Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.
