  1. 42nd Amendment: 1. Added 'Socialist', 'Secular', 'Integrity' to Preamble. 2. Added eight Fundamental Duties. 3. Added Articles 39A, 43A, 47 as new DPSPs. 4. Empowered the President, with Election Commission, to disqualify State Legislature members. Which are incorrect?

    1. 1 and 2
    2. 3 and 4

    Answer: B — 3 and 4

    Articles 39A/43A were added later (by other amendments, not the 42nd as a package with 47 this way), and disqualification power under the 42nd Amendment context is misattributed — so statements 3 and 4 are the incorrect ones.
