★The persons who held the office of CAG are V. Narahari Rao, Vinod Rai and Girish Chandra Murmu, so the answer is one, three and five.
★V. Narahari Rao was the first Comptroller and Auditor General of India, serving from 1948 to 1954.
★Vinod Rai served as the CAG of India from 2008 to 2013.
★Girish Chandra Murmu is the current CAG of India, appointed in 2020.
★Ranjan Gogoi was a Chief Justice of India and not a CAG, so statement two is wrong.
