A2, 4 and 5 ✓ Correct
B1, 2, 3 and 5
C1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (A) 2, 4 and 5 — Items 2, 4 and 5 are correct, so the answer is 2, 4 and 5.
Explanation
★Items 2, 4 and 5 are correct, so the answer is 2, 4 and 5.
★The Fundamental Duties were based on the Swaran Singh Committee.
★Originally ten, an eleventh duty was added by the 86th Amendment.
★Fundamental Duties are not enforceable by the courts.
★Item 1 is wrong, because they were inserted by the 42nd Amendment, not the 44th.
★Item 3 is wrong, because they were inspired by the constitution of the erstwhile USSR, not Ireland.
★So only the Swaran Singh, the eleventh-duty and the non-enforceability statements are correct.
