Correct Answer Explanation

The correct answer is (a) 26th November 1949. The Constituent Assembly completed the task of drafting the Constitution on 26th November 1949, and on this day, the Preamble, along with the rest of the Constitution, was adopted, enacted, and given to themselves by the people of India. Although many provisions of the Constitution came into force on this date, the major part came into force on January 26, 1950, which is celebrated as Republic Day.

Incorrect Options Analysis
  • (b) 26th January 1950: This is the date when the Indian Constitution formally came into full force, and India became a Republic.
  • (c) 22nd July 1947: On this date, the National Flag of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly.
  • (d) 13th December 1946: This was the date when Jawaharlal Nehru moved the 'Objectives Resolution' in the Constituent Assembly, which later became the Preamble to the Constitution.

Correct Answer Explanation

सही उत्तर है (a) 26 नवंबर 1949। संविधान सभा ने 26 नवंबर 1949 को संविधान का मसौदा तैयार करने का कार्य पूरा किया, और इसी दिन, प्रस्तावना, संविधान के बाकी हिस्सों के साथ, भारत के लोगों द्वारा अपनाई, अधिनियमित और स्वयं को अर्पित की गई। हालांकि संविधान के कई प्रावधान इस तिथि को लागू हुए, इसका मुख्य भाग 26 जनवरी 1950 को लागू हुआ, जिसे गणतंत्र दिवस के रूप में मनाया जाता है।

Incorrect Options Analysis
  • (b) 26 जनवरी 1950: यह वह तिथि है जब भारतीय संविधान औपचारिक रूप से पूरी तरह से लागू हुआ और भारत एक गणराज्य बना।
  • (c) 22 जुलाई 1947: इस तिथि को संविधान सभा द्वारा भारत का राष्ट्रीय ध्वज अपनाया गया था।
  • (d) 13 दिसंबर 1946: यह वह तिथि थी जब जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने संविधान सभा में 'उद्देश्य संकल्प' प्रस्तुत किया था, जो बाद में संविधान की प्रस्तावना बना।
