Explanation:

Both 1 and 2.

The Indian Independence Act of 1947 indeed abolished the office of the Secretary of State for India. With the end of British rule, this role, which was a key position in the administration of British India, was no longer relevant.

The Act also discontinued the appointment to civil services and other appointments by the Secretary of State for India. This change was part of the transfer of power and the process of establishing India's own administrative and civil services structures post-independence.
