Correct Answer
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.

B. 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.

  States Government

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.

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.
