The statement that the Cripps Mission promised India dominion status is correct. The Cripps Mission, led by Sir Stafford Cripps, visited India in 1942 and proposed the idea of dominion status for India after the war.

The statement that the Cripps Mission rejected the demand for Pakistan is not accurate. The Cripps Mission did not specifically address the issue of Pakistan, as the demand for Pakistan gained prominence later during the discussions around the Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946.

The statement that representatives of the princely states in the Constituent Assembly were to be elected by the common masses is not specifically associated with the Cripps Mission. The issue of the representation of princely states was addressed in later proposals, such as the Cabinet Mission Plan.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
