Statement 2 is correct. Assurances given by Ministers on the floor of the House are examined by the Committee on Government Assurances. The business of this committee and the assurances given by Ministers do *not* lapse upon the dissolution of the Lok Sabha. They are carried over to the new Lok Sabha.
Statement 3 is incorrect. Business pending before parliamentary committees of the Lok Sabha *lapses* upon the dissolution of the Lok Sabha. This includes Bills pending before Select/Joint Committees constituted by Lok Sabha, and other matters before various standing or ad-hoc committees appointed by the Lok Sabha. Exceptions exist mainly for committees appointed by Rajya Sabha or specific joint committees where Rajya Sabha members continue.
