Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
Both statements are historically accurate: on 22–23 October 1939 all Congress‐ruled provincial ministries resigned, and the immediate trigger was the Viceroy’s unilateral decision (3 September 1939) to commit India to war against Germany without consulting Indian leaders. Hence R correctly explains A. ([drishtiias.com](https://www.drishtiias.com/print-quiz/3263?utm_source=openai))
