A1 and 2 only
B2 and 3 only ✓ Correct
C1 and 3 only
DAll are correct
Correct answer: (B) 2 and 3 only — Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Statements 2 and 3 are correct, so that is the answer.
★The 73rd and 74th Amendments do reserve one-third of local-body seats for women.
★The gender divide does lie in social expectations and preconceptions.
★Statement 1 is wrong, since equal pay for equal work is a Directive Principle.
★It is found in Article 39(d), not in the Fundamental Rights.
★So only statements 2 and 3 are accurate.
★Thus the answer is statements 2 and 3 only.
