Which of the above is / are correct?
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: Power can be shared among governments at different levels - a general government for the entire country and governments at the provincial or regional level. Such a general government for the entire country is usually called Federal Government. In India, we refer to it as the Central or Union Government. There are many countries where there are no provincial or state governments. This is called federal division of power. The same principle can be extended to levels of government lower than the State Government, such as the municipality and panchayat.
