The correct option is B

2 only
Explanation:

The Government of India Act, which ultimately did eventuate in 1935 could hardly satisfy anybody and was criticized equally by Congress as well as the Muslim League.

Statement 1 is incorrect: At the centre, the act provided for a federal structure, but it was to come into effect only if more than 50 per cent of the princely states formally acceded to it.

Statement 2 is correct: The distribution of powers between the Centre and the States in the Indian Constitution is based on the scheme provided under this act.
