Answer: D. Statement 1 is correct: Part IXA (Articles 243P to 243ZG) deals with Municipalities, and Article 243W covers their powers. Statement 2 is correct: Part XVIII (Articles 352 to 360) contains the emergency provisions. Statement 3 is correct: Part XX (Article 368) deals with amendment of the Constitution. So 1, 2 and 3.
Watch for: Part numbers are easy to confuse; Part IX is Panchayats and Part IXA is Municipalities.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because Part XX on amendment is also correct.
- B. Wrong because Part IXA on Municipalities is also correct.
- C. Wrong because Part XVIII on emergency is also correct.
