Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Simla (Shimla) Conference of June 1945 was convened and called by Viceroy Lord Wavell as part of the Wavell Plan to reconstruct the executive council and negotiate between major Indian parties; Lord Mountbatten did not become Viceroy until 1947 [1]. Statement 2 is correct. The Royal Indian Navy (RIN) revolt of 1946 began with ratings rising in Bombay and then spread to Karachi (and other ports such as Calcutta and Madras), representing a large-scale naval uprising by Indian sailors against the government and their grievances in the immediate post-war period [2]. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
