1, 3 and 4 only
Explanation:
Statement 1, 3 and 4 are correct: The Human Development Index (HDI) ranks the countries based on their performance in the key areas of health, education and access to resources. The indicator chosen to assess health is the life expectancy at birth. The adult literacy rate and the gross enrollment ratio represent access to knowledge. Access to resources is measured in terms of purchasing power (in U.S dollars).
Statement 2 is incorrect: Sex- ratio is not an indicator. HDI rankings are based on a score between 0 to 1 that a country earns from its record in the key areas of human development. With an HDI value of 0.647 India finds herself grouped with countries showing medium human development.
