A
Both 1 and 2
B
1 only
C

D
2 only
Correct answer: (b) 1 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because Article 371 provisions are indeed located in Part XXI of the Indian Constitution, detailing temporary, transitional, and special provisions. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Sixth Schedule is established under Article 244(2) (not Article 239) for autonomous district councils in designated northeastern tribal areas, making 2-only wrong.
