Which of the following pairs of British constitutional provisions and the Acts that introduced them is correctly matched ?
Bicameral Legislature — Government of India Act, 1919
Each option pairs a constitutional device with the colonial statute that introduced it, so the pairs must be checked one by one.
| Provision | Act that actually introduced it | Pair as printed |
| Dyarchy | Government of India Act, 1919 (in the provinces) | Wrong — shown as 1858 |
| Separate Electorates | Indian Councils Act, 1909 (Morley-Minto) | Wrong — shown as 1935 |
| Provincial Autonomy | Government of India Act, 1935 | Wrong — shown as 1909 |
| Bicameral Legislature | Government of India Act, 1919 | Correct |
The Act of 1858 only transferred power from the East India Company to the Crown and created the office of Secretary of State, so it introduced no dyarchy. The Act of 1919 replaced the unicameral Imperial Legislative Council with a Council of State and a Legislative Assembly, giving India its first bicameral central legislature.
Hence, the correctly matched pair is Bicameral Legislature — Government of India Act, 1919.
