As per the Rankine's earth pressure theory, which of the following statements is/are FALSE?

  1. For the active earth pressure, the inclination of failure plane is $\left(45^{\circ}+\phi / 2\right)$ with respect to the major principal plane.
  2. For the active earth pressure, the inclination of failure plane is $\left(45^{\circ}-\phi / 2\right)$ with respect to the major principal plane.
  3. For the passive earth pressure, the inclination of failure plane is $\left(45^{\circ}+\phi / 2\right)$ with respect to the major principal plane.
  4. For the passive earth pressure, the inclination of failure plane is $\left(45^{\circ}-\phi / 2\right)$ with respect to the major principal plane.
