Assertion (A) : The Part-III and IV of the Constitution are considered as the conscience of the Constitution.
Reason (R) : The principles contained in the Part-IV are moral precepts and it can be enforceable by Art. 37 of the Constitution.

Select the correct answer code.

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B.(A) is true but (R) is false
  • C.(A) is false but (R) is true
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

The Assertion is true but the Reason is false, so the answer is (A) is true but (R) is false.

The Assertion is true: Granville Austin described Parts III and IV, the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles, as the conscience of the Constitution.

The Reason is false: Article 37 says the opposite. The Directive Principles in Part IV shall not be enforceable by any court, although they are fundamental in the governance of the country and the State must apply them in making laws. Since the Reason is false, the options saying both are true, or that the Assertion is false, are wrong.
