RAS question

On the 76th Constitution Day, the Constitution of India was launched in how many new regional languages?

Correct answer: (C) Nine.

On the 76th Constitution Day, the Constitution of India was launched in nine new regional languages.

  1. (A)

    Seven

  2. (B)

    Eight

  3. (C)

    Nine

  4. (D)

    Eleven

Explanation

The answer is nine because the official PIB release records a digital release of the Constitution of India in Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Bodo, Kashmiri, Telugu, Odia and Assamese. The Bodo and Kashmiri editions were published for the first time, which is why the count matters beyond a routine language-listing question. For an exam answer, the safest method is to count the named languages in the official release: Malayalam (1), Marathi (2), Nepali (3), Punjabi (4), Bodo (5), Kashmiri (6), Telugu (7), Odia (8) and Assamese (9). Hence the only option matching the release is nine.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Seven is too low because the official release names nine languages, not seven.
  • (B) Eight misses one language from the official list of nine: Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Bodo, Kashmiri, Telugu, Odia and Assamese.
  • (D) Eleven overstates the count, as the PIB release lists exactly nine languages for this launch.

Concept

This tests current governance through Constitution Day observances and official constitutional outreach. Such facts recur in RAS because they connect constitutional values, public institutions and recent government releases.
