Discussion
Based on the statements and conclusions given below, select the correct option.
Statements:-
I. Protection and improvement of environment and safeguarding of forests and wild life has been discussed in article 48A of Indian constitution.
II. To protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures has been discussed in article 51A (g) of Indian Constitution.
Conclusions:-
I. Provisions related to environment are not discussed in any part of the Indian Constitution.
II. Provisions related to environment has been discussed in more than one Article of the Indian Constitution.
Answer: B
Only Conclusion II follows. The statements show that the Constitution deals with the environment in at least two places, Article 48A, a Directive Principle on protection and improvement of the environment, and Article 51A(g), a Fundamental Duty to protect and improve the natural environment. So the environment is discussed in more than one Article, which is Conclusion II.
Conclusion I, that provisions on the environment are not discussed in any part of the Constitution, is contradicted by both statements, so it does not follow. The options with Conclusion I, both conclusions or neither are therefore wrong.
