The correct option is A (a) Only 1 and 2
The central head was the Peshwa whose secretariat was called Huzur Daftar.
The provinces were under Sarsubahdars. Next to him was Mamlatadar who was administrative head of Sarkars/Subahs or Prants. They performed various functions – civil and criminal justice, development of agriculture, revenue assessment in villages (with assistance of Patels)
Deshmukhs exercised checks on Mamlatadars in matters of accounts.
Patels were the chief village officers who performed judicial, revenue and other administrative functions. Kotwal was the chief officer in city. He also headed the city police.
Nyaydhish performed judicial duties in towns. The Patel performed these functions in villages. There was no separation of judicial and executive power as the highest appeal would lie to the Raja of Satara. Panchayats however were the main instruments of civil justice.
