    Explanation
    The correct answer is 27%. In higher education and public sector employment, Other Backward Classes (OBCs) are entitled to a reservation of 27%.

    • Union Government

    • States Government

    • Both Union & State governments

    • Neither Union nor State governments

    Correct Answer
    A. Union Government
    Explanation
    The Constitution of India vests the residuary powers in the Union Government. Residuary powers are those powers that are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution and are not assigned to either the Union or State governments. These powers are given to the Union Government to ensure that there is a central authority that can make decisions on matters that are not explicitly covered by the Constitution. This allows for a clear division of powers between the Union and State governments and ensures that there is a central authority to handle any issues that may arise.

    • It obtains uniformity in the definition on those who constitutes a child

    Correct Answer
    A. It provides employment opportunity anywhere in India
    Explanation
    The odd one out is "It provides employment opportunity anywhere in India" because the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 is aimed at prohibiting and regulating child labor, not providing employment opportunities for children. The act focuses on regulating work conditions, enforcing penalties for those who defy the act, and establishing a uniform definition of child labor.

    A. Regulation of safety and labour in oil-fields and mines
    Explanation
    The subject "Regulation of safety and labour in oil-fields and mines" is included in the Union List in the 7th Schedule of the Constitution of India. This means that the central government has the authority to make laws and regulations regarding safety and labor in oil-fields and mines. This subject is not included in the State List or Concurrent List, which is why it falls under the jurisdiction of the central government.

    • Not fixed

    Correct Answer
    A. Not fixed
    Explanation
    The term of office of the Advocate General of a State is not fixed. Unlike other constitutional positions, such as the Governor or Chief Minister, the Advocate General does not have a specific fixed term. The Advocate General is appointed by the Governor of the State and serves at their pleasure. The appointment can be revoked or changed at any time by the Governor. Therefore, the term of office of the Advocate General is not predetermined or set for a specific duration.

    A. Only 1
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Only 1". This means that statement 1 is correct, while statement 2 is incorrect. The explanation for this is that the Constitution of India does indeed describe backward classes. It includes provisions for the reservation of seats in educational institutions and government jobs for socially and educationally backward classes of citizens. However, there is a provision in the Indian Constitution to promote equal pay for equal work for both women and men, under Article 39(d) which directs the state to ensure equal pay for equal work. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
