Accepted Answer

The Government of India Act 1919 introduced the system of 'Dyarchy' in the provinces, dividing provincial subjects into 'Reserved' and 'Transferred' lists.

Reserved subjects were administered by the Governor and his Executive Council, who were not responsible to the legislative council. These included crucial areas like: Administration of Justice, Finance, Land Revenue, Police, Irrigation, and Famines.

Transferred subjects were administered by the Governor acting with the ministers of the provincial legislative council, who were responsible to the council. These included subjects like: Local Self-Government, Education, Public Health, Sanitation, Agriculture, Forests, and Fisheries.

Based on this:

1. Administration of Justice: Treated as a 'Reserved' subject.
2. Local Self-Government: Treated as a 'Transferred' subject.
3. Land Revenue: Treated as a 'Reserved' subject.
4. Police: Treated as a 'Reserved' subject.
Therefore, 1, 3, and 4 were treated as Reserved subjects.
