The correct answer is option 1 - "1 and 2 only".

Article 395 of the Indian Constitution repealed only the Government of India Act, 1935 and the Indian Independence Act, 1947. The Government of India Act, 1935 was the governing document of British India and it provided for the establishment of a federal government in India. The Indian Independence Act, 1947 was the legislation that ended British rule in India and granted independence to both India and Pakistan.

The other options are incorrect because they include acts that were not repealed by Article 395. The Abolition of Privy Council Jurisdiction Act, 1949 abolished the jurisdiction of the Privy Council as the final court of appeal for India, but it was not repealed by Article 395. The Government of India Act, 1919 was the predecessor to the Government of India Act, 1935, but it was also not repealed by Article 395.
