The term fraternity present in the Preamble gets reflected implicitly in which of the following provisions
of the Constitution of India?
1. 6th Schedule
2. Part-IV
3. Part-III
4. Part-IV (A)
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
• All the options are correct.
• Fraternity essentially means that all the citizens should behave like members of the same family. No
one should treat a fellow citizen as inferior. The Preamble declares that fraternity has to assure two
things—the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation. The word ‘integrity’ has
been added to the Preamble by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment (1976).
• Option 1 is correct. The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution provides for the administration of tribal
areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram to safeguard the rights of the tribal population in
these states. It promotes fraternity by upholding the dignity of the tribal people as they can govern
themselves according to their customs and values and also within the larger framework of nationalism,
Sixth Schedule fulfils their needs and aspirations, thus promoting unity and integrity of the nation.
• Option 2 is correct. Part-IV of Indian Constitution deals with directive principles of state policy which
are instructions to the state. It aims to establish social and economic democracy through a welfare state.
It promotes fraternity by upholding dignity of an individual through provisions like Article 39(b) [the
equitable distribution of material resoruces of the community for the common good], Article 39(c)
[prevention of concentration of wealth and means of production], article 43 [living wage for workers],
etc. Further, unity and integrity is upheld through provisions like article 44 [uniform civil code for the
citizens], etc.
• Option 3 is correct. Part III deals with fundamental rights and does talk about the fraternity ideal
implicitly. Fundamental rights are the basic human rights enshrined in the Constitution of India which
are guaranteed to all citizens. They are applied without discrimination on the basis of race, religion,
gender, etc. Value of Fraternity gets manifested in the Fundamental right through provisions like Article
17 [ban of untouchability to uphold dignity of an individual], Article 23 [ban
on child labor], Article 25 [secularism promotes unity and integrity], etc.
• Option 4 is correct. The idea of fraternity finds mention in Art. 51A(e) of (Part-IV A) i.e., fundamental
duties, where it is the duty of every citizen “to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood
amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities; to
renounce practice derogatory to the dignity of women”

Consider the following statements:
1. Both Graphene and Fullerene are allotropes of Carbon.
2. Graphenes are excellent conductors of electricity whereas Fullerenes exhibit poor conductivity.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Ans : (c.) Both 1 and 2 are correct.
Allotropes are different forms of the same element.
Graphene is a one:atom:thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the
crystalline allotrope of carbon. It is the building:block of Graphite (which is used, among others
things, in pencil tips. Hence statement 1 is correct.
Graphene is a good conductor of electricity because one carbon atom is bonded only with three
carbon atoms, which enables the presence of free electrons. Fullerenes in pure state act as
insulators but can be converted to semiconductors and superconductors under suitable
conditions. Thus statement 2 is correct

Alcohol is soluble in water because:
Correct
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Ans: (b) intermolecular hydrogen bonding between them.
The better solvent is one which has a high dielectric constant. The dielectric constant of water
and ethanol at 20°C are 80.1 and 25.3 respectively.
It is due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding between alcohol and water that alcohol is soluble in
water. Thus option (b) is correct. Water being a universal solvent is not the correct reason for the
asked question.
