Consider the following pairs :
| Provision in the Constitution of India | Stated under |
|---|---|
| I. Separation of Judiciary from the Executive in the public services of the State | The Directive Principles of the State Policy |
| II. Valuing and preserving of the rich heritage of our composite culture | The Fundamental Duties |
| III. Prohibition of employment of children below the age of 14 years in factories | The Fundamental Rights |
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Show answer
Answer: C. Pair I is correct: Article 50 (a Directive Principle) asks the State to separate the judiciary from the executive in its public services. Pair II is correct: Article 51A(f) is the Fundamental Duty to value and preserve our composite culture. Pair III is correct: Article 24 (a Fundamental Right) bans employing children below 14 in factories, mines or hazardous work. So all three are matched.
Watch for: Article 50's 'separation of judiciary' sounds like a basic structure or Fundamental Right idea, but it is a Directive Principle.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Only one is wrong, because all three pairs are correct.
- B. Only two is wrong, because all three pairs are correct.
- D. None is wrong, because all three pairs are correct.
