Correct answer: (c) 1 and 4 only
Explanation
- A
1, 2 and 4 only
Option (a) is 1, 2 and 4 only. Abolition of untouchability is Article 17 under Right to Equality, not Right against Exploitation. Including 2 is wrong. This option is not the key.
- B
2, 3 and 4 only
Option (b) is 2, 3 and 4 only. Untouchability and minority rights are other Parts/articles; they are not Articles 23–24. This option is therefore wrong.
- C
1 and 4 only
Right against Exploitation in Part III is Articles 23 and 24: prohibition of traffic in human beings and begar, and prohibition of child employment in factories and mines (and other hazardous work). Minority protection is Articles 29–30; untouchability is Article 17. Hence 1 and 4 only is the official key.
- D
1, 2, 3 and 4
Option (d) is all four. That mixes Equality, Exploitation and Cultural rights. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) 1 and 4 only. Using the stem list: traffic and forced labour, and child labour in factories and mines, are the Exploitation rights. Untouchability is Equality; minority interests are Cultural and Educational Rights. Articles 23 and 24 are the pair to remember. Only 1 and 4 belong.
