With reference to the Cabinet Mission, which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It recommended a federal government. 2. It enlarged the powers of the Indian courts. 3. It provided for more Indians in the ICS. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

States that the Cabinet Mission recommended formation of a Constituent Assembly to frame a new constitution replacing the 1935 Act.

A student can note that a constituent assembly framing a constitution can redefine judicial powers, so one would check the Assembly's actions or the final constitution to see if court powers were enlarged.

Describes the Cabinet Mission's two‑tier federal plan limiting the federal centre to defence, foreign affairs and communications while provinces retained other powers.

Using the rule that constitutions/federal arrangements allocate subjects (often influencing judicial jurisdiction), a student could examine whether judicial jurisdiction was reassigned under the Mission plan or subsequent constitutional texts.

Notes the Mission's remit: interim government and principles/procedures for framing a new constitution giving freedom to India.

Since the Mission set principles for a new constitution, one can investigate those principles or resulting constitutional provisions to see if they expanded court powers.

Records British recognition (Dec 1946) of possible partition and implication of separate Constituent Assemblies to frame constitutions for different parts.

A student could infer that different constituent assemblies might produce different judicial arrangements, so checking the assemblies' drafts would indicate any enlargement of court powers.

States the Constituent Assembly was constituted in 1946 under the Cabinet Mission Plan.

Knowing the Assembly was the body to make the constitution, one should inspect its debates or the constitution it produced (and transitional measures) for changes to judicial authority.

Gives a concrete precedent (Lee Commission 1924) that British commissions explicitly recommended phased parity/Indianisation of ICS recruitment (50:50 in 15 years).

A student could treat this as a pattern: check whether the 1946 Cabinet Mission, another high‑level British plan, followed or updated such recruitment/Indianisation recommendations by locating its text or related orders.

States the Cabinet Mission's brief was to set up a national (interim) government before transfer of power.

From this aim one might reasonably infer the mission could address composition/representation in key services; a student could test this by examining the Mission Plan for sections on civil administration or appointments.

Records that the Mission negotiated on an interim government and principles/procedures for framing a new constitution—i.e., constitutional/administrative arrangements were within its remit.

A student could extend this to hypothesize the Mission might have proposed administrative staffing rules (including civil service recruitment) and then check the Plan or contemporaneous correspondence for such provisions.

Notes the Constituent Assembly was constituted under the Cabinet Mission Plan, indicating the Plan had concrete institutional provisions affecting governance.

A student could infer that if the Plan specified institutional design it may also have addressed civil service composition; they could examine assembly/plan documents or membership/composition rules.

States that the ICS was replaced by the IAS in 1947, providing a immediate post‑Mission administrative change and a clear timeline for reform of the service.

A student could use the 1947 replacement date to look for transitional measures around 1946–47 (including any Cabinet Mission influence) that changed recruitment/representation policies.
