With reference to Rowlatt Satyagraha, which of the following statements is/are correct?1.The Rowlatt Act was based on the recommendations of the 'Sedition Committee'.2.In Rowlatt Satyagraha, Gandhiji tried to utilize the Home Rule League.3.Demonstrations against the arrival of Simon Commission coincided with Rowlatt Satyagraha.Select the correct answer using the codes given below

1. A

   1 only

   (a) 1 only. The Rowlatt Act did rest on the Sedition Committee (Rowlatt Committee, 1918), but Gandhi also used Home Rule League networks to organise the 1919 satyagraha. Statement 2 is also correct, so 1 only is incomplete.

2. B

   1 and 2 only

   (b) 1 and 2 only. Rowlatt followed the Sedition Committee’s report, and Gandhi tried to mobilise the Home Rule Leagues for the satyagraha. The Simon Commission arrived in 1928, almost a decade later, so statement 3 is false. 1 and 2 only is the official key.

3. C

   2 and 3 only

   (c) 2 and 3 only. Statement 2 is right, but 3 confuses 1919 with 1928. The pair is wrong.

4. D

   1, 2 and 3

   (d) 1, 2 and 3. Statement 3 is chronologically false, so the full set fails.

Summary. Official key is (b) 1 and 2 only. The Rowlatt Act implemented the Sedition Committee’s recommendations, and Gandhi sought to use Home Rule League machinery for the 1919 protest. Simon Commission demonstrations belong to 1928, not to Rowlatt Satyagraha. Statement 3 is therefore out. The keyed pair is 1 and 2.
