Answer 1

Answer:

C. In 2002, after the 82nd Constitution Amendment Act, another Fundamental Duty was added.

• The statement "In 2002, after the 82nd Constitution Amendment Act, another Fundamental Duty was added." is false. Here are the key facts and relevant information to understand why this statement is incorrect:
• The 82nd Constitution Amendment Act was enacted in 2000 and primarily dealt with making provisions for the reservation in promotions for Schedule Castes and Schedule Tribes employees in government jobs.
• Fundamental Duties are listed in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution.
• The 86th Constitution Amendment Act, passed in 2002, added a new Fundamental Duty to the Constitution, which mandates that every parent or guardian must provide opportunities for education to their child or ward between the ages of six and fourteen years.
• Therefore, the addition of the Fundamental Duty related to education was a result of the 86th Amendment Act of 2002, not the 82nd Amendment Act.
