Explanation:

Explanation:  Statement 1 is incorrect: It did not favour holding competitive exams simultaneously in England and India Recruitment to higher posts.  Statement 2 is incorrect: The Islington Commission’s report (1917) had recommended that 25 percent of the higher government posts should go to Indians. Supplementary notes: Islington Commission  The Royal Commission on Public Services in India, also known as the Islington Commission was carried out under the Chairmanship of Lord Islington.  It made the following recommendations in its report:  Recruitment to the superior posts should be made partly in England and partly in India. However, it did not favour holding competitive exams simultaneously in England and India, which was the prime demand of the Indian Nationalists.  25% of the superior posts should be fi lled by Indians partly by direct recruitment and partly by promotion.  The services under the Government of India should be categorised into Class I and Class II.  The principle of maintenance of effi ciency should be adopted while fi xing the salaries of civil servants.  There should be a probationary period of 2 years for direct recruits. For the ICS, it should be 3 years.  That report had become a dead letter in 1918, when the Montagu-Chelmsford Report proposed Indian appointments to one-third of the posts. Simultaneous examinations were instituted in London and New Delhi in 1922. But by this time, because of political uncertainties, there was a shortage of British entrants.  The Lee Commission proposed in 1924 that 40 percent of future entrants should be British.
