- AArticle 31A and Article 31C
- BArticle 31B and Article 31D
- CArticle 12 and Article 13
- DArticle 16 and Article 17
Explanation
Article 13 declares laws inconsistent with Fundamental Rights void, but Articles 31A (saving laws on agrarian reform and estates) and 31C (saving laws giving effect to Directive Principles) are express exceptions to the rights in Articles 14 and 19. Article 31B (Ninth Schedule) and the other pairings listed do not form the classic exception pair. The correct pair is Article 31A and Article 31C.
