Question

Accepted Answer

A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).. Step 1: (A) is true: anyone whose fundamental right is violated can approach the Supreme Court directly by writ petition.
Step 2: (R) is true: Article 32, the Right to Constitutional Remedies, guarantees the right to move the Supreme Court for enforcing fundamental rights.
Step 3: (R) is the very provision that creates the right stated in (A), so it correctly explains (A).
Check: Ask "Why can a person go to the Supreme Court?" The answer is "because Article 32 says so", which is (R).
Trap: (B) is chosen by students who see both as true facts but miss that Article 32 is the source of the right in (A).
