Asymmetrical Federal Integration

The third statement is correct; federal authority over Princely States depended entirely on their individual Instruments of Accession. The first statement is completely backwards: accession was compulsory for Governor's Provinces but voluntary for Princely States. The second statement is false because federal authority over Governor's Provinces encompassed both legislative and executive matters.

The Assertion is correct, as the integration model was unequal. Reason 1 correctly supports this by highlighting the compulsory nature for provinces versus the voluntary nature for Princely States. Reason 2 is historically false; federal authority applied to both executive and legislative matters in the provinces, and executive power was not transferred to Princely rulers.

The second counsel is correct. Under the 1935 Act, joining the federation was entirely voluntary for Princely States. Furthermore, if a state chose to join, the federal authority did not automatically assume full executive and legislative control (as it did with Governor's Provinces); instead, federal jurisdiction was strictly delineated by the specific terms agreed upon in the state's Instrument of Accession.

None of the propositions are true. Proposition 1 is false (princely states were voluntary). Proposition 2 is false (Governor's provinces were mandatory). Proposition 3 is false (federal control over provinces explicitly included both legislative and executive matters).
