Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

The correct answer is option 3 Both 1 and 2.

The Indian Independence act 1947:
- Passed by the British Government in July 1947.
- The then Prime Minister of Britain, Clement Attlee, had announced that British India would be given full self-governance before 30th June 1948.
- Clement Attlee appointed Lord Mountbatten as viceroy of India in February 1947.
The transfer of power was officially announced by Lord Mountbatten on 15th August 1947. Hence statement 1 is correct.
Mahatma Gandhi was not present at the festivities in the capital on 15th August 1947 as he was in Bengal among the people.
He was already in distress due to the partition and riots which were happening in the state among the different communities.
He stayed in the state to save thousands of people from being slaughtered in the name of religion.
As per the situation his presence was required more in Bengal than in Delhi.
Hence statement 2 is also correct.
