Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
Evaluate each pair:
– Part IV-A – Fundamental Duties: Correct. Part IV-A (Article 51A) contains Fundamental Duties (added by the 42nd Amendment, 1976).
– Part VI – The States: Correct. Part VI (Articles 152–237) deals with the States.
– Part XI – The Municipalities: Incorrect. Part XI (Articles 245–263) concerns Relations between the Union and the States. Municipalities are covered under Part IX-A (Articles 243P–243ZG).
Therefore, only pair 3 is NOT correctly matched. Hence, Option 2 is correct.
