Solution

The correct option is B 2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Expansion of Viceroy’s executive council to give Indians majority was offered and done in the August Offer in 1940.

Statement 2 is correct: Main proposals of the Cripps Mission were:

An Indian Union with a dominion status would be set up; it would be free to decide its relations with the Commonwealth & free to participate in UN & other international bodies.

Any province unwilling to join the Indian dominion could form a separate union and have a separate constitution.

After the end of the war, a constituent assembly would be convened to frame a new constitution.

Members of this assembly (partly elected by the provincial assemblies through proportional representation & partly nominated by the princes).
