    Solution

    · Statement 1 is incorrect: The Gandhi–Irwin Pact marked the end of the civil disobedience movement in India before the Second Round Table Conference in London, paving way for participation of INC. The firstround table conference did not see the participation of the INC. Most of the Congress leaders were imprisoned at that time because of its civil disobedience movement. · Statement 2 is incorrect: The CivilDisobedience movement saw less participation from the Muslim community. The policy of divide and rule by the British and the communal propaganda of the Muslim League were major detterents in the Muslim Participation. The decline of Khilafat and NonCooperation Movements also led to alienation of Muslims from the Congress.
