1. The Radcliffe Committee, chaired by Sir Cyril Radcliffe, was formed in July 1947 under the provisions of the Indian Independence Act, 1947.
2. Its primary mandate was to delimit the boundaries between the newly created dominions of India and Pakistan (covering both the western border separating India from West Pakistan, and the eastern border separating India from East Bengal/East Pakistan).
3. The boundary line it drew is known as the Radcliffe Line.
4. Option (A) is incorrect; while partition affected minorities, the committee's task was boundary demarcation, not solving minority problems.
5. Option (B) is incorrect; giving effect to the Independence Bill was a broader process.
6. Option (D) is incorrect; inquiries into partition-related riots were separate matters.
