भारतीय स्वातंत्र्य कायदा - 1947 मुळे संविधान सभेच्या स्थानामध्ये झालेल्या बदलाबाबतची खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या : अ. संविधान सभा पूर्ण सार्वभौम संस्था बनली. ब. संविधान सभा ही स्वतंत्र भारताची पहिली संसद बनली. क. जेव्हा संविधान सभा विधिमंडळ संस्था म्हणून भरत असे, तेव्हा तिच्या अध्यक्षस्थानी डॉ. राजेन्द्र प्रसाद असत. ड. संविधान सभेची सदस्य संख्या 389 च्या tulnene 299 पर्यंत कमी झाली.

(a)संविधान सभा पूर्ण सार्वभौम संस्था बनली. / The Constituent Assembly was made a fully sovereign body.

(b)संविधान सभा ही स्वतंत्र भारताची पहिली संसद बनली. / The Constituent Assembly became the first Parliament of free India.

(c)जेंव्हा संविधान सभा विधिमंडळ संस्था म्हणून भरत असे, तेंव्हा तिच्या अध्यक्षस्थानी डॉ. राजेन्द्र प्रसाद असत. / When the Constituent Assembly met as the Legislative body it was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad.

(d)संविधान सभेची सदस्य संख्या 389 च्या तुलनेने 299 पर्यंत कमी झाली. / The total strength of the Constituent Assembly came down to 299 as against 389.

1)विधाने अ, ब आणि क बरोबर / Statements a, b and c are correct
2)विधाने ब, क आणि ड बरोबर / Statements b, c and d are correct
3)विधाने अ, ब आणि ड बरोबर / Statements a, b and d are correct✓ Correct
4)विधाने अ, क आणि ड बरोबर / Statements a, c and d are correct

Post-1947 Indian Independence Act, the Constituent Assembly became fully sovereign, acted as the first provisional parliament, and its strength reduced to 299. However, statement c is wrong because when the Assembly met as a legislative body, it was chaired by G.V. Mavalankar, not Dr. Rajendra Prasad.

पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते चुकीचे आहे ? Which one of the following two statements is incorrect ?

(a)घटना समिती (कॉन्स्टिट्युएन्ट असेम्ब्ली) नंतर विधान समिती (लेजिस्लेटिव्ह असेम्ब्ली) बनली जिचे पुढे रूपांतर तात्पुरत्या / हंगामी संसदेत (पार्लमेंट मधे) झाले. The Constituent Assembly turned into Legislative Assembly which got transformed into Provisional Parliament of India.

(b)ज्या दिवशी घटनेवर सह्या होत होत्या त्या दिवशी बाहेर पावसाची रिमझिम चालू होती जो एक शकुन मानला गेला. On the day the Constitution was being signed it was drizzling outside and it was interpreted as a sign of good omen.

1)केवळ अ / Only a
2)केवळ ब / Only b
3)दोनों अ व ब / Both a and b
4)दोन्ही नाहीत / Neither a nor b✓ Correct

Both statements are historically correct. The Constituent Assembly indeed became the Provisional Parliament, and historical accounts note light rain on the day the Constitution was signed, considered an auspicious sign.
