Q20
Indian PolityPreamble, Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Duties
How many Fundamental Duties are provided by the Constitution of India?
  1. a.Twelve
  2. b.Eleven
  3. c.Thirteen
  4. d.Nine

Answer: (B) Eleven

Answer as of 2023 — this may have changed since.

Article 51A lists eleven Fundamental Duties: ten were added by the 42nd Amendment, 1976, and the eleventh (education of children aged 6–14) by the 86th Amendment, 2002. Twelve, thirteen and nine do not match the current count.
