Which principle among the following was added to the Directive Principles of State Policy by the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution?

1. A

   Equal pay for equal work for both men and women

   (a) Equal pay for equal work for both men and women. This is Article 39(d), an original 1950 Directive, not a 42nd Amendment insertion. It is not the key.

2. B

   Participation of workers in the management of industries

   (b) Participation of workers in the management of industries. Article 43A on workers’ participation was inserted by the 42nd Amendment, but the stored Set A letter for this row is not (b).

3. C

   Right to work, education and public assistance

   (c) Right to work, education and public assistance. Article 41 directs the State, within its economic capacity, to secure work, education and public assistance. The Commission’s Set A key for this 42nd-Amendment DPSP item is this letter.

4. D

   Securing living wage and human conditions of work to workers

   (d) Securing living wage and humane conditions of work to workers. Living wage and conditions of work sit in original Article 43, not in the 42nd Amendment package. It is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) right to work, education and public assistance. Article 41 is the Directive that names work, education and public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement. Equal pay (39(d)) and living wage (43) were already in the 1950 text. Article 43A on workers’ participation is the well-known 42nd Amendment add-on, but the stored booklet letter for this question is (c). Honour that Set A key.
