Both statements about the Non-Cooperation Movement are correct:
I. The Congress declared the attainment of 'Swaraj' by all legitimate and peaceful means to be its objective: Correct. At the special session in Calcutta (September 1920) and later at Nagpur (December 1920), the Congress formally adopted the goal of attaining Swaraj through non-violent and legitimate means as part of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
II. It was to be implemented in stages with civil disobedience and non-payment of taxes for the next stage only if 'Swaraj' did not come within a year and the Government resorted to repression: Correct. The movement was planned in phases, with the more radical steps like civil disobedience and tax resistance reserved for later stages if the initial non-cooperation measures failed to achieve Swaraj within the stipulated timeframe.
