_______ Fundamental duties are listed in Article ______ of Part IV A of the Indian Constitution.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 11; 51A

The Fundamental Duties of Indian citizens are enshrined in Article 51A of Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution. These duties were added by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, and originally included 10 duties; an 11th duty was added later via the 86th Amendment Act, 2002.

Other Options:

  • 11; 52A – Incorrect, as there is no Article 52A in the Constitution.

  • 13; 52A – Incorrect, as Fundamental Duties are not under Part IV (Directive Principles) and Article 52A does not exist.

  • 13; 51A – Incorrect, as Part IV-A is the 11th part of the Constitution, not the 13th.
