Which of the following is/are the function/functions of the Cabinet Secretariat? 1. Preparation of agenda for Cabinet Meetings 2. Secretarial assistance to Cabinet Committees 3. Allocation of financial resources to the Ministries Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The Cabinet Secretariat facilitates the smooth transaction of government business by preparing agendas for Cabinet meetings and providing secretarial assistance to various Cabinet Committees. Statement 3 is incorrect because the allocation of financial resources to ministries is the function of the Ministry of Finance (specifically through the Budget process), not the Secretariat.
