Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as both the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League rejected the Cripps Mission of 1942. The Congress rejected it because it offered only 'Dominion Status' instead of full independence and allowed for the possible secession of provinces [4]. The Muslim League rejected it because it did not explicitly provide for the creation of Pakistan [3]. Statement 2 is incorrect. While the Interim Government sworn in on September 2, 1946, was initially Congress-dominated and headed by Jawaharlal Nehru , the Viceroy later brought the Muslim League into the government on October 26, 1946 . The League nominated five members, including Liaquat Ali Khan [2]. Therefore, the Interim Government eventually included nominees from both the Congress and the Muslim League, making the claim that it had nominees of the Congress only false.
