Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
The 1919 Act introduced dyarchy in provincial executive councils and transferred some legislative powers from the Centre to provinces (statements 1 & 3). Separate communal electorates for Muslims had already been created under the 1909 Morley-Minto reforms, so statement 2 is incorrect. Therefore 1 and 3 only.
