Which of the following was an objective of the Mountbatten Plan of June, 1947?

The correct answer is Option 4. Key Points The Mountbatten Plan of June 1947 was a plan for the partition of British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan. The plan was devised by Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, and it was accepted by the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. The main objectives of the Mountbatten Plan were: To partition British India into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan To divide the provinces of Punjab and Bengal based on religious demographics To establish a Boundary Commission to determine the exact borders between India and Pakistan To provide for a referendum in Sylhet district of Assam to decide whether it would join India or Pakistan To establish a timetable for the transfer of power from British to Indian hands. Additional Information Option 1 was also a part of the plan, as Pakistan was given the option to have its own separate constitutional assembly. However, the main objective of the plan was to create a federal union with a common legislature and executive. Option 2 is incorrect, as the Mountbatten Plan did not call for the formation of a federal union consisting of princely states. Instead, the plan called for the princely states to accede to either India or Pakistan. Option 3 is partially correct, as the Mountbatten Plan did divide the provinces of Punjab and Bengal based on religious demographics. However, there were no separate groups of provinces for Hindu-majority, Muslim-majority, and Assam-Bengal regions.
