On the basis of the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee (1976), Fundamental Duties were incorporated by adding Article 51A to Part IV-A of the Constitution through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment, which initially had 10 fundamental duties, and the 11th fundamental duty relating to providing opportunities for education to children aged 6 to 14 years was added by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act of
- 3.
- 4. Under Article 21, the 'Right to Privacy' has been recognized by the Supreme Court as a fundamental right within the right to life, but the 'Uniform Civil Code' (UCC - Article 44) falling under the directive principles has not yet been fully implemented in the country as it depends on state policy and the state cannot be compelled by the court for its non-implementation.

Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely true?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1, 2, and 3 are completely true. Fundamental rights are justiciable, whereas directive principles are non-justiciable, though fundamental in governance. The 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976) added 10 fundamental duties on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee, and the 86th Amendment (2002) added the 11th duty. The Right to Privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21, and Article 44 (UCC) is a DPSP. Statement 4 is incorrect because fundamental duties are non-justiciable in nature and there is no direct provision for punishment under Article 51A itself unless enacted through separate parliamentary legislation.

Consider the following statements regarding 'Ecological Pyramids' under the teaching of Environmental Studies (EVS) and ecology: 1. The Pyramid of Energy is always upright, because according to Lindeman's '10% Law' in an ecosystem, the flow of energy always decreases when moving from one trophic level to a higher trophic level, and a part of the energy is lost as heat. 2. In an Aquatic Ecosystem, the Pyramid of Biomass is generally inverted, because here the total biomass of primary producers (phytoplankton) is less than the biomass of higher trophic levels (such as zooplankton and small fish). 3. The Pyramid of Number is inverted in a Tree Ecosystem, because the number of herbivorous birds dependent on a large-sized single tree (producer) is high, and the number of organisms living on them as parasites is even higher.
