Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3
Dr B. R. Ambedkar did demand separate electorates for the Depressed Classes at the First Round Table Conference (1930–31), so Statement 1 is true. The Poona Pact (1932) replaced separate electorates with reserved seats in provincial legislatures; it did not give special representation in local bodies or civil services, so Statement 2 is false. The Indian National Congress boycotted the Third Round Table Conference (1932), making Statement 3 true. Therefore Statements 1 and 3 only are correct.
