1- correct, true, right
2- incorrect, untrue, false, wrong

can you tell me the differences?

1- Correct & right are pretty much the same. True is used in True/false type questions. Right can also be used for legal and moral questions.
2- Incorrect and wrong are pretty much the same. Untrue is different- it wouldn't be used for questions, but for when facts are being dealt with, and can move into the area of lying.

nice, really nice..

But could you, please, give us examples for untrue to clarify it more?

What they said turned out to be untrue = this doesn't mean they were lying, but later the truth came out.
