Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Statement 1 is correct: the Act proposed an ‘All-India Federation’ comprising British-Indian provinces and Princely States (though it never came into force). Statement 2 is incorrect: Defence and Foreign Affairs were ‘reserved’ subjects under the direct control of the Governor-General, not of the federal legislature. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
