Consider the following pairs :
I. Centrifugal form of federalism : Canada
II. Impeachment of the President : USA
III. Concept of the Concurrent List : USSR
IV. The Fundamental Duties : Australia

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correctly matched pairs are:

  • Pair I: Correct. India adopted a federal system with a strong center (often described as centrifugal or 'holding together' federalism) from the Canadian Constitution.
  • Pair II: Correct. The provisions regarding the impeachment of the President (Article 61) were borrowed from the Constitution of the USA.
  • Pair III: Incorrect. The concept of the Concurrent List, along with joint sittings of Parliament, was borrowed from the Australian Constitution.
  • Pair IV: Incorrect. Fundamental Duties (Article 51A) were inspired by the Constitution of the erstwhile USSR.

Since only pairs I and II are correctly matched, the correct option is B.
