Paper I 6 Eighth Schedule Lists the official languages of India. It currently contains 22 languages. Twelfth Schedule Contains provisions relating to Municipalities. The provided options are misleading as the number of articles has significantly increased beyond 395. However, 395 is often cited as the original number of articles. The Eighth Schedule's content is about languages, not the number of articles. If the question implies a count of articles within a specific schedule, it's poorly worded. Assuming it refers to the number of articles in the Constitution and the content of the schedules: The original Constitution had 395 articles and 8 schedules. The Ninth Schedule was added by the First Amendment. The Twelfth Schedule was added by the 74th Amendment. Option D, "395 Articles - Eighth Schedule," is the closest to a factual statement if it's interpreted as "the Constitution originally had 395 articles, and the Eighth Schedule deals with languages." The other options incorrectly link article counts to schedules.
Which of the following match is correctly matched? A) 400 Articles - Twelfth Schedule B) 495 Articles - Twelfth Schedule C) 300 Articles - Eighth Schedule D) 395 Articles - Eighth Schedule
