Option 1 states that Lord Ripon`s plan for local self-government in India proposed that the district should be the maximum area served by one Committee or Local Board. Option 2 states that the Local Boards should consist of a large majority of nominated official members and be presided over by an official member as Chairman.

In the correct answer, Option 4 states that neither Option 1 nor Option 2 is correct.

Lord Ripon`s plan for local self-government in India, also known as the Ripon Resolution, was introduced in 1882. The plan aimed to decentralize power and grant more autonomy to local bodies.

Regarding Option 1, it is incorrect. Lord Ripon`s plan did not specify a maximum size for the local boards or committees. Instead, it emphasized the need to establish local bodies at various levels, ranging from village boards to district boards. These bodies would have power in areas such as sanitation, education, and public works.

Regarding Option 2, it is also incorrect. Lord Ripon`s plan emphasized the importance of elected members in the local boards. The plan aimed to promote popular representation and allow local people to participate in decision-making processes. It did not propose a large majority of nominated official members or the chairmanship by an official member
