Consider the following statements regarding the Simon Commission:
- AOnly 1 and 2
- BOnly 2 and 3
- COnly 1 and 3
- D1, 2 and 3

Correct answer: B
Tilak died in 1920, well before the Simon Commission of 1927-28, so he could not have written against it in Kesari, making statement 1 wrong. The commission was boycotted because it was a seven-member all-British body with no Indian representation, and Lala Lajpat Rai was fatally injured in a lathi-charge during an anti-Simon protest, so statements 2 and 3 are correct.
