Answer 1

Most probably the issue happens because of the incompatability of 32 bit and 64 bit excecutables. Suppose if you have installed 32 bit Android Studio by mistake and you will be downloading a 64 bit JDK. In this case 32 bit Android Studio will not be able to pick up the 64 bit JDK. This was the issue I faced. So I followed the below simple steps to make it working,

1. Downloaded 32 bit JDK(you can also download 64 bit Android Studio if you do not want to change the 64 bit JDK)
2. Right click MyComputer > Advanced System Settings > under 'Advanced tab' > Environment variables > Under System Variables > Add JAVA_HOME as key and your jdk(eg:C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_79) location as value.
3. Save it and launch Android Studio. You are good to go now.
