Dyarchy in the provinces. (Correct)

The Government of India Act 1919 introduced the system of dyarchy in the provinces, dividing the powers of the provincial governments into two categories: reserved subjects (administered by the Governor) and transferred subjects (administered by ministers responsible to the legislative council).

Relaxation of central control over the provinces. (Correct)

The Act increased the powers of the provincial legislatures, providing a certain degree of autonomy to the provinces by relaxing central control.

The Indian legislature was made more representative. (Correct)

The Act expanded the electorate, making the Indian legislature more representative by introducing a limited form of direct elections and increasing the number of voters.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
