  1. There is no Article in the Constitution of India that specifies that the Constitution of India will be officially called the 'Constitution of India'.
  2. There is no Article in the Constitution of India that specifies that the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935 stand repealed.
  3. There is no Article in the Constitution of India that mentions 26th January, 1950 as the date of the commencement of the Constitution of India.

Which one of the following conclusions based on the above statements is correct ?

  1. All three statements are correct.
  2. There is no correct statement.
  3. There are two correct statements that include statement 3.
  4. There is only one correct statement.

Answer

There is no correct statement.

All three statements are false. Article 393 gives the short title 'Constitution of India'; Article 395 repeals the Indian Independence Act, 1947 and the Government of India Act, 1935; and Article 394 mentions 26 January 1950 as the commencement date. Hence, there is no correct statement.
