49. The existing Constitution of Nepal has incorporated duties of Citizens in -

Article 49
Show me the answer
Answer: 3. Article 48
Explanation:
Fundamental Duties are enshrined in Article 48.
The article is titled Duties of Citizens.
It contains 11 specific duties as listed in the previous explanation.
This follows the pattern of some other constitutions (like India's) that include both rights and duties.
The inclusion aims to balance individual rights with civic responsibilities.
50. Fundamental Rights in Nepal are guaranteed by it through
The right of equality
Right against Exploitation
Right to Constitutional Remedies
Educational and Cultural Rights
Show me the answer
Answer: 3. Right to Constitutional Remedies
Explanation:
Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 46) is the mechanism that guarantees all other fundamental rights.
Article 46 states: "The right to proceed in accordance with Article 133 or 144 for the enforcement of the rights conferred by this Part shall be guaranteed."
This means citizens can approach:
Supreme Court (Article 133) for writ jurisdiction
High Court (Article 144) for writ jurisdiction
Without enforcement mechanisms, rights would be merely theoretical.
This follows the principle of Ubi jus ibi remedium (where there is a right, there is a remedy).
51. How many duties of Citizen's have been provisioned by the Constitution of Nepal?

Show me the answer
Answer: 2. 4
Explanation: Note: This appears to be a discrepancy. Actually, there are 11 duties in Article 48, but the answer key says 4. Let me check carefully:
Article 48 lists 11 duties (as explained in Q48).
However, looking at the answer key for this PDF, it indicates option 2 (4).
Possibly the question refers to categories of duties or there's an error in the question/answer key.
Correct constitutional provision: 11 specific duties in Article 48.
52. According to constitution of Nepal, every citizen shall have -
Freedom to opinion and expression
Freedom of assemble peacefully without arms
Freedom to move and reside any part of Nepal
All of the above
Show me the answer
Answer: 4. All of the above
Explanation:
Article 17 guarantees all these freedoms:
Freedom of opinion and expression: Article 17(2)(a)
Freedom to assemble peaceably and without arms: Article 17(2)(b)
Freedom to move and reside in any part of Nepal: Article 17(2)(d)
Other freedoms under Article 17 include:
Freedom to form political parties, unions, associations
Freedom to practice any profession, occupation, trade, or business
These freedoms are subject to reasonable restrictions for sovereignty, security, public order, etc.
53. According to Constitution of Nepal, which is not the duty of the citizens? (PSC: 2080)
To abide by the Constitution and law
To render compulsory service as and when the state so requires
To protect the political rights of the people
To protect and preserve public property
Show me the answer
Answer: 3. To protect the political rights of the people
Explanation:
This is NOT listed among the 11 duties in Article 48.
Duties listed in Article 48 include:
To abide by the constitution and law (mentioned)
To render compulsory service (mentioned)
To protect and preserve public property (mentioned)
But NOT "to protect the political rights of the people"
Protecting political rights is primarily the state's responsibility, though citizens may participate through democratic processes.

Article, 41
Article, 51
Article, 56
Article, 61
Show me the answer
Answer: 2. Article, 51
Explanation:
Article 51 is part of Directive Principles of State Policy.
Article 51(i) states as a directive principle: "To make public administration fair, competent, impartial, transparent, free from corruption, accountable and participatory."
While this is a directive principle (not directly enforceable), it guides state policy on public service.
Other relevant provisions:
Article 242: Provisions relating to civil service
Article 243: Provisions relating to Nepal Army, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force
But the specific mention in directive principles is in Article 51.

The present constitution of Nepal has provisioned for Right to senior citizens.
Both 1 and 2 true
Both 1& 2 false
1 true & 2 false
1 false & 2 true
Show me the answer
Answer: 1. Both 1 and 2 true
Explanation:
Statement 1 is TRUE: Directive Principles (Part 4) are generally not enforceable by courts. Article 54 states they are "fundamental in the governance of the country" but "shall not be enforceable in any court."
Statement 2 is TRUE: The present constitution (2072) has provisioned Right to Senior Citizens in Article 41 as a fundamental right.
Therefore, both statements are correct.
Senior citizens' rights include social security, special protection, and facilities as provided by law.

Explanation:
Article 56(1) defines: "The powers of the Federation shall be vested in the Federal Parliament, the President, the Federal Government and the Federal Courts, in accordance with this Constitution."
Article 56(2) for Provinces: "The powers of a State shall be vested in the State Assembly, the Governor, the State Government and the State Courts, in accordance with this Constitution."

67. Which of the following pair(s) is/are correctly matched?
Seventh schedule - Union, state and concurrent lists
Fifth schedule - Federal list
Sixth Schedule - State List
Ninth Schedule - concurrent powers of Federation, State and local level
1 and 3 only
2 and 4 only
1, 2 and 3 only
All of above
Show me the answer
Answer: 4. All of above
Explanation: All pairs are correctly matched:
Seventh schedule - Union, state and concurrent lists: This is the Indian Constitution reference. In Nepal's context, Schedule 7 contains Concurrent Powers of Federation and Province (25 items).
Fifth schedule - Federal list: Schedule 5 contains Powers of the Federation (44 items).
Sixth Schedule - State List: Schedule 6 contains Powers of the Province (21 items).
Ninth Schedule - concurrent powers of Federation, State and local level: Actually, Schedule 9 is Residual Powers (assigned to Federation). The concurrent powers for all three levels are more complex:
Federation-Province concurrent: Schedule 7
Federation-Local concurrent: Some overlapping areas
Province-Local concurrent: Some overlapping areas
Note: There appears to be some confusion in the matching. Let me clarify:
The question seems to mix Nepali and Indian constitutional terminology.
In Nepal's Constitution:
Schedule 5: Federal List ✓
Schedule 6: Provincial List ✓
Schedule 7: Concurrent List (Federation & Province) ✓
Schedule 8: Local List ✓
Schedule 9: Residual Powers (to Federation)
Statement 4 is technically incorrect for Nepal - Schedule 9 is residual powers, not concurrent powers of all three levels.
However, based on the answer key, "All of above" is marked correct, suggesting the question may be referencing comparative constitutional knowledge.
