Explanation:

2 and 3 only

The Government of India Act of 1858 abolished the East India Company and transferred the powers of government to the British Crown.

The act did introduce the system of Double-Government, but it was the Court of Directors that managed the political affairs, and the Board of Control managed the commercial affairs.

The office of Secretary of State for India was introduced under the Government of India Act of 1858, and it did not discontinue the role but restructured it, placing it under the authority of the Secretary of State for India.

So, statement 2 and 3 are incorrect.
