Single correct option
The Poona Pact of 1932 between Gandhi and Ambedkar dealt mainly with which issue?
- A. Partition of Bengal

Show answer and solution
Answer: (B) Representation of the depressed classes in legislatures
After the Communal Award gave separate electorates to the depressed classes, Gandhi fasted in Yerwada jail, and the Poona Pact replaced separate electorates by reserved seats within the general electorate, with more seats than the Award had offered. It had nothing to do with Bengal's partition, dominion status or the salt tax.
