Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the 'Objectives Resolution' was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru on December 13, 1946, not by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This resolution laid down the philosophical foundation and fundamentals of the constitutional structure, eventually becoming the Preamble. Statement 2 is also incorrect. While Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was indeed the Chairman of the Drafting Committee and served as the Law Minister in the first Cabinet of independent India, he was elected as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee by the committee members themselves on August 30, 1947, following the committee's establishment on August 29, 1947. His appointment as Chairman was based on his legal expertise and constitutional scholarship rather than being an ex-officio requirement of his role as Law Minister. Therefore, neither statement is correct.
