Explanation:

The statement is incorrect. The introduction of civil services in India began with the Charter Act of 1833, not the Regulating Act of 1773. The Charter Act of 1833 laid the foundation for the modern civil services in India.

The statement is correct. Before the takeover of Indian administration by the British Crown in 1858, civil servants were allowed to engage in private trade in India. This practice created opportunities for corruption and conflicts of interest.

The statement is correct. One of the factors behind the exclusion of Indians from civil services was the prevailing belief among the British colonial administrators that Indians lacked the ability and integrity required for administrative roles. This discriminatory attitude contributed to the implementation of policies that restricted Indian participation in the civil services.

Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
