Answer
(i) and (ii)
Reason — The Second Round Table Conference was attended by Gandhiji as the sole representative of the Congress. The conference, however, ended in deadlock mainly over the question of separate electorates. The British did not agree to grant immediate dominion status. Therefore, only statements (i) and (ii) are correct.
