Explanation:

• Ripon's Resolution of 1882: The Government of Ripon desired the provincial governments to apply in case of local bodies the same principle of financial decentralisation which Lord Mayo's Government had begun towards them. The main points of the resolution were as follows:

Development of local bodies advocated to improve the administration and as an instrument of political and popular education;
Policy of administrating local affairs through urban and rural local bodies charged with definite duties and entrusted with suitable sources of revenues;
Non-officials to be in majority in these bodies, who could be elected if the officials thought that it was possible to introduce elections. Hence statement 1 is correct.
Non-officials to act as chairpersons to these bodies. Hence statement 2 is correct.
Official interference to be reduced to the minimum and to be exercised to revise and check the acts of local bodies, but not to dictate policies;
Official executive sanction required in certain cases, such as raising of loans, alienation of municipal property, imposition of new taxes, undertaking works costing more than a prescribed sum, framing rules and bye-laws, etc. Hence statement 3 is not correct.

• In pursuance of this resolution many Acts were passed between 1883 and 1885 which greatly altered the constitution, powers and functions of municipal bodies in India.
