- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 1 is false: the Objectives Resolution was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru on 13 December 1946, not by Sardar Patel. Key disputed: statement 2 is contested — Ambedkar was indeed Chairman of the Drafting Committee (set up 29 August 1947) and also Law Minister, and most coaching keys treat the statement as correct; strictly, though, he was elected Chairman by the committee for his legal scholarship rather than ex-officio as Law Minister, and some keys mark D (Neither). The stored key B is retained, following the majority coaching consensus.
