(a) (i) Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the nation. Salt was something consumed by the rich and the poor alike, and it was one of the most essential items of food. 

(ii) The Civil Disobedience Movement caused a tide of patriotic fervor in the country. People became fully aware of their responsibilities and the Movement succeeded in creating political awakening among the masses. 

(iii) The Movement had a healthy impact upon the social conditions. The ‘Harijan Sevak Sangh’ was established which helped the untouchables to obtain the basic rights. The depressed classes were given entry into churches, temples. 

(b) The Second Round Table Conference was held in London in September, 1931. Gandhiji was chosen as the sole representative of the Congress. All sections of the Indian society were represented at the Conference. Gandhiji demanded a responsible Government and Independence for India and immediate Dominion Status for India. 

Cause of the Failure : The representatives of other groups like Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, etc. were more concerned about safeguarding their own rights and their narrow interests. The Conference could not arrive at any agreement regarding communal representation and ended inconclusively. 

(c) (i) Division of the Country : The country would be divided into two Dominions i. e., India and, Pakistan. 

(ii) The Constituent Assembly : The existing Constituent Assembly would continue to work, but the Constitution framed by it would not be applied to Pakistan. A separate Constituent Assembly would be constituted for those parts which decided in favour of partition. 

(iii) The Princely States : The Princely States would be free to choose their own option, and treaties signed with them would soon come to an end. 

(iv) A Boundary Commission: A Boundary Commission would be set up to decide about the boundary disputes.
