Q1
Indian PolityMaking of the Constitution & Salient Features
The original Constitution of India had how many Articles and Schedules?
  1. a.392 Articles and 7 Schedules
  2. b.395 Articles and 8 Schedules
  3. c.395 Articles and 6 Schedules
  4. d.396 Articles and 4 Schedules

Answer: (B) 395 Articles and 8 Schedules

As adopted in 1949, the Constitution had 395 Articles (in 22 Parts) and 8 Schedules. The Schedules grew to 12 only through later amendments, so 7, 6 or 4 Schedules are all wrong, and 392 or 396 Articles do not match the original text.
