Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The Simla Conference of June 1945 was convened by Viceroy Lord Wavell, not Lord Mountbatten, so statement 1 is wrong. The Royal Indian Navy mutiny of February 1946 indeed began at HMIS Talwar in Bombay and quickly spread to ships and shore establishments in both Bombay and Karachi, so statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simla_Conference?utm_source=openai))
