The correct answer for the given question is option 4, "Neither 1 nor 2". Let`s dissect each statement to understand why they are incorrect.

Statement 1 states that if the Legislative Assembly of a State in India is dissolved in mid-term, the Speaker vacates his office. However, this statement is incorrect. When the Legislative Assembly is dissolved, it does not affect the position of the Speaker. The Speaker continues to hold his position until a new Legislative Assembly is formed and a new Speaker is elected.

Statement 2 states that when the Speaker of a Legislative Assembly resigns, he addresses his letter to the Governor of the State. This statement is also incorrect. When the Speaker of a Legislative Assembly resigns, he does not address his resignation letter to the Governor of the State. Instead, he submits his resignation to the Deputy Speaker or to the Secretary of the Legislative Assembly.

Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The correct answer is option 4, "Neither 1 nor 2".
