Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3
The first INC session (1885) was held at Bombay, not Calcutta, so statement 1 is false. The second session (1886) met at Calcutta under Dadabhai Naoroji—statement 2 is correct. In December 1916 both the INC and the All-India Muslim League met in Lucknow and concluded the historic Lucknow Pact—statement 3 is correct. Hence only statements 2 and 3 are right.
