Explanation
- A
All three statements are correct.
This option claims all three statements are correct, which is incorrect because Article 393 explicitly states the short title 'Constitution of India', Article 395 repeals the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935, and Article 394 mentions 26th January, 1950 as the date of commencement for key provisions.
- B
There is no correct statement.
There is no correct statement. Statement 1 is incorrect because Article 393 names the Constitution 'Constitution of India'. Statement 2 is incorrect because Article 395 expressly repeals the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935. Statement 3 is incorrect because Article 394 specifies 26th January, 1950 as the date of commencement for major provisions of the Constitution. Therefore, none of the three statements are correct.
- C
There are two correct statements that include statement 3.
This option claims there are two correct statements that include statement 3, which is incorrect because statement 3 is factually incorrect as Article 394 does mention 26th January, 1950, and statements 1 and 2 are also incorrect.
- D
There is only one correct statement.
This option claims there is only one correct statement, which is incorrect because all three statements provided in the question are factually false regarding the text of the Constitution of India.
Summary. Official key is (b) because all three statements are false; Article 393 provides the short title, Article 395 repeals the 1947 and 1935 Acts, and Article 394 specifies the date of commencement.
