After Quit India Movement, C. Raja Gopalachari issued a pamphlet entitled “The Way Out”. Which one of the following was a proposal in this pamphlet?

The correct answer is Option 4.

Following the 1942 Quit India Movement and the subsequent incarceration of Congress leaders, India faced a severe constitutional deadlock between the British Raj, the Indian National Congress, and the Muslim League regarding the country's future political structure and the demand for Pakistan.

In 1944, C. Rajagopalachari published the pamphlet "The Way Out" to bridge this gap. Its primary objective was to offer a solution for the constitutional deadlock by proposing a formula (popularly known as the C.R. Formula) that suggested:

• The Muslim League should endorse the demand for independence.
• A plebiscite in Muslim-majority areas to decide on a separate state after the war.
• Cooperation in forming a provisional interim government.

Options 1 and 2 relate more closely to the August Offer (1940) and the Wavell Plan (1945), while Option 3 describes post-war developments leading to the Cabinet Mission. Thus, Option 4 is the most accurate description of the pamphlet's intent.
