Which of the following statements is/are correct as per the Constitution of India?

- 2Right to Work and Right to Education are both, Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State policy. Select the answer using the code given below:
General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Neither statement is correct. The 86th Constitutional Amendment (2002) inserted Article 21A making elementary education a fundamental right; it substituted Article 45 and added the fundamental duty in Article 51A(k) — it did not add the Right to Education to the Directive Principles chapter. The Right to Work is only a Directive Principle (Article 41), not a fundamental right.
