- 296 members from the Provinces and 93 from princely states
- Complete freedom to frame the Constitution of the Indian Union.
Answer
Members to be directly elected by the people of India
Reason — The Cabinet Mission proposed that members of the Constituent Assembly would be elected by the Provincial Legislative Assemblies, not directly by the people. It also provided for 296 members from the British Provinces and 93 from the Princely States. Therefore, direct election by the people was the incorrect statement.
