Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?
1) The human liver fluke, a nematode parasite, depends on two intermediate hosts (a snail and a fish) to complete its life cycle.
2) The malarial parasite needs a vector (mosquito) to spread to other host organisms.
3) In case of brood parasitism, the eggs of parasitic birds (e.g., cuckoo) are not detected and removed from the nest because the parasite's eggs resemble the host's eggs in morphology and colour.
4) A population of frogs protected from all predators would decrease indefinitely.

Read the following data carefully

Parameter	Values
Initial population of lions	$400$
Number of new births in one year	$100$
Number of deaths in one year	$40$

Imagine the lion population grows logistically where the carrying capacity is $800 .$ Then the per capita birth rate $(b)$ , per capita death rate $(d)$ , intrinsic rate of natural increase $(r)$ , increase or decrease in population during the unit time period $(\frac{d N}{d t})$ are respectively
