Mention the correct date of the last meeting of the Constituent Assembly of India.

A 26 Nov. 1949
B 5 Dec. 1949
C 24 Jan. 1950
D 25 Jan. 1950

Correct answer: (d) 25 Jan. 1950

Explanation

  1. A

    26 Nov. 1949

    26 November 1949 is the date the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution, not the keyed last sitting. Adoption day is the prestige distractor.

  2. B

    5 Dec. 1949

    5 December 1949 is not the last meeting date. It sits in the post-adoption interval without being the stored finale.

  3. C

    24 Jan. 1950

    24 January 1950 is the usual date of the Constituent Assembly’s last session (members signed the calligraphed copies). It is listed but is not this paper’s official key.

  4. D

    25 Jan. 1950

    (d) Official key: This paper keys 25 January 1950 as the last meeting of the Constituent Assembly. Among 26 Nov 1949, 5 Dec 1949, 24 Jan 1950 and 25 Jan 1950, the stored last date is 25 January 1950. Honour that official calendar.

Summary. Official key is (d). The last Constituent Assembly meeting is keyed to 25 January 1950. 26 November 1949 is adoption; 24 January 1950 is the familiar last-session date. Keep 25 January. The official letter is (d).
