Which of the following Articles were not part of the original Constitution of India ?
(i) Art. 52A
(ii) Art. 51A
(iii) Art. 14
(iv) Art. 300A
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Article 51A (Fundamental Duties) was added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, and Article 300A (the right to property as a constitutional right) by the 44th Amendment in 1978, so neither was in the original Constitution. Article 14 (equality before law) has been part of it since 1950. The Constitution has no Article 52A, so (ii) and (iv) are the two existing Articles that were added later.
