Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) 1 only
Statement 1 is correct: the Lucknow Pact of 1916 between Congress and the Muslim League accepted separate electorates and was led by Tilak and Jinnah, and the two bodies held joint sessions. Statement 2 is wrong: Gokhale died in 1915 and Naoroji was not the architect. The trap is the association with moderate leaders.
