Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 1) A and B are correct.

Explanation:

On June 3, 1947, the British government agreed to the constituent assembly of India to frame any constitution and cannot apply to those parts of the country, which were unwilling to accept it.

During that period, the viceroy was Lord Mountbatten and he put forward the partition plan. It was also known as Mountbatten Plan.

Clement Atlee, the British Minister at the time, was the one who declared this act.

Consequently, the Indian Independence Act of 1947 came into effect.

The main features are:

• It ended the British rule in India with immediate effect and declared India an Independent and Sovereign State.
• It provided for the partition of British India and the creation of two independent dominions of India and Pakistan with the right to secede from the British Commonwealth.
• As a result, West Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sindh, and East Bengal joined Pakistan.
• It gave princely states the option of joining the Dominion of India or the Dominion of Pakistan or remaining independent.
• From 1948 to 1950 these princely states would be joined the part of India by Instrument of Accession, Military operation, and Plebiscite.

Hence statements A and B are correct
