Explanation:

2nd statement is incorrect i.e.The Crown Representative was subordinate to the Governor General.
The office of Viceroy of India was called CROWN REPRESENTATIVE AND GOVERNOR- GENERAL from 1937 till 1937.
Under the Act of 1935, the Government of India remained purely an official government under the control of the Secretary of State, but there were two vital changes.
First, the relations of the Crown with the Indian States were no longer the concern of the Government of India.
They passed to the Crown Representative, a new functionary (though the same individual held the offices of both Governor-General and Crown Representative).
The Crown Representative exercised his functions in relation to the Indian States through the agency of the Political department, local Residents and Political Agents.
