Q. With reference to the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946, consider the following statements:
  1. It recommended an undivided India.
  2. It restricted communal representation.
  3. It envisaged all residuary powers to be vested in the hands of provinces and princely states.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: The Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946 recommended an undivided India, rejected the demand for Pakistan, and proposed a weak Centre. It restricted communal representation. All subjects except Union ones and all residuary powers were vested in provinces, while princely states retained all subjects and residuary powers. Hence, all three statements are correct.
