Explanation
The Government of India Act, 1919 divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. The
transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers
responsible to the
Legislative
Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be
administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the Legislative
Council. This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’
which means the
double rule
. However, this experiment
was largely unsuccessful.
The government of India Act 1919 gave the provinces more legislative powers provided for the framing of rules for the devolution of authority between the Centre and the Provinces. However, judicial review was prohibited.
Considered the following statements.
The objective of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 was:
To give power to the local government.
To establish dyarchy in the provinces.
The extension of provincial government.

Explanation
The Government of India Act of 1919 relaxed the central control over the provinces by demarcating and separating the central and
provincial subjects. The central and provincial legislatures were authorised to make laws on
their respective list of subjects.
It further divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. The
transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers
responsible to the
Legislative
Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be
administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the
Legislative Council. This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’. So both statements 2 and 3 are correct.

Explanation
The representatives of each community were to be elected by members of that community in
the provincial legislative assembly and voting was to be by the method of proportional representation by means of a
single
transferable vote. The representatives of princely states were to be nominated by the heads of the princely
states. It is thus clear that the Constituent Assembly was to be a partly elected and partly nominated body.
Moreover, the members were to be indirectly elected by the members of the provincial assemblies,
who themselves were elected on a limited franchise. The total strength of the Constituent Assembly was to be 389. Of these, 296 seats were to be
allotted to British India and 93 seats to the Princely States. The Constituent Assembly appointed a number of committees to deal with different tasks of
constitution-making. Out of these, eight were major committees and the others were minor
committees. So only statements 3 and 4 are correct.
