Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 2
The 1935 Act abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced provincial autonomy (statement 1). It also armed Governors with discretionary powers, including the right to veto bills or promulgate ordinances (statement 2). However, it retained and even extended separate communal electorates; communal representation was NOT abolished (statement 3 is wrong). Therefore only 1 and 2 are correct.
