keywords: 

{'mental duties': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'international peace': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'citizen': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'preamble': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'secunry': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 4: Neither 1 nor 2.

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Indian Constitution originally did not include any fundamental duties for citizens. However, under the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976, a new Part IVA was added to the Constitution, which included 10 Fundamental Duties for every citizen of India. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.

Statement 2 is also incorrect. The Preamble to the Constitution of India does not explicitly mention the promotion of international peace and security. Instead, it states the objectives of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity among the citizens of India. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.

In conclusion, neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct.
