{'legislature': [3, 0, 1, 3], 'ordinary legislative process': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'new state': [2, 0, 1, 4], 'territory': [3, 0, 2, 9], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'prime minister': [6, 3, 0, 4], 'simple majority': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'separation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'procedures': [1, 0, 0, 4], 'changes': [4, 0, 2, 9]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that a new state can be formed by the Parliament of India through a simple majority and by following the ordinary legislative process.

Option 2 mentions two procedures:

- The recommendation of the President, who usually refers the bill to the legislature of the state(s) that will be affected by the proposed changes. This is not a true procedure because the President`s recommendation is not required for the formation of a new state.

- The mention of the bill being referred to the legislature of the state(s) affected is not a true procedure either, as there is no requirement for the bill to be referred to the state legislature.

Option 3 mentions the procedure of the Prime Minister advising the President. This is also not a true procedure as the advice of the Prime Minister is not required for the formation of a new state.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer as it accurately states that a new state can be formed by the Parliament of India through a simple majority and the ordinary legislative process.
