Assertion [A] : Article 51-A does not expressly cast any fundamental duty on the state.
Reason [R] : The duty of every citizen of India is the collective duty of the state.

  • A.[A] is true but [R] is false
  • B.Both [A] and [R] are true; and [R] is the correct explanation of [A]
  • C.[A] is false, [R] is true
  • D.Both [A] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct explanation of [A]

Answer: B

The key accepts both [A] and [R] as true with [R] explaining [A]. Article 51-A lists fundamental duties of citizens and does not expressly cast any duty on the state, and the reason adds that citizens' duties are collectively a duty to the state, which the key treats as the explanation.

Options calling either statement false are against the key, and (D), which denies the explanation, is not the key. The matter is partly one of interpretation, so the answer follows the commission's key.
