Answer:
1, 2 & 3
Notes: Objective of the C R Formula was to solve the political deadlock between the All India Muslim League and Indian National Congress. League’s position was that the Muslims and Hindus of British India were of two separate nations and hence the Muslims had the right to their own nation. The Congress was opposed to the idea of partitioning India.
The Core principle of the CR Formula was a proposal for the Congress to
offer the League the Muslim Pakistan based on plebiscite of all the peoples in the regions where Muslims made a majority.
