With reference to the proposals of Cripps Mission, consider the following statements: 1. The Constituent Assembly would have members nominated by the Provincial Assemblies as well as the Princely States. 2. Any Province, which is not prepared to accept the new Constitution would have the right to sign a separate agreement with Britain regarding its future status. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1: The Cripps Mission proposals suggested that the Constituent Assembly would consist of members elected by the Provincial Assemblies through proportional representation and representatives from Princely States nominated by the rulers. The statement incorrectly claims that members from Provincial Assemblies would also be nominated. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect. 2. Statement 2: A key proposal of the Cripps Mission was that any Province not willing to join the Indian Union could remain outside and negotiate a separate agreement with Britain regarding its future status. This implied a right for provinces to not accept the new Constitution and potentially secede. Therefore, statement 2 is correct. 3. Since only statement 2 is correct, the correct option is (B).
