Which of the following articles of the Indian constitution deals with the parliament and it's proceedings?

Correct — D. Parliament occupies Chapter II of Part V of the Constitution, and that chapter runs from Article 79 to Article 122.

Article 79 constitutes Parliament as the President together with the Council of States and the House of the People. Article 105 carries the powers and privileges of the Houses and their members.

Article 122 closes the block by barring courts from inquiring into the proceedings of Parliament — which is why "and its proceedings" in the stem still lands inside the same range. The block asked for is option (d).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Article 36 to 51 — Articles 36 to 51 are Part IV, the Directive Principles of State Policy. They are non-justiciable guidelines to the state, not machinery provisions for a legislature.
• (b)
  Article 12 to 35 — Articles 12 to 35 are Part III, the Fundamental Rights. This is the range most students hold best, which is why it is offered first as a decoy.
• (c)
  Article 51A — Article 51A is a single article, Part IVA, the Fundamental Duties. One article cannot cover the composition, sessions, officers, privileges and procedure of two Houses.

The Constitution is organised in Parts, and the article ranges follow the Parts in an unbroken sequence.

Part V is the Union, and it splits into chapters: the Executive at Articles 52 to 78, Parliament at 79 to 122, the legislative power of the President at 123, the Union Judiciary at 124 to 147, and the Comptroller and Auditor-General at 148 to 151.

Because the ranges are contiguous, learning the boundaries of the Parts answers a whole family of questions instead of one.

Key facts

• Articles 79 to 122 form Chapter II of Part V and deal with Parliament and its proceedings.
• Article 79 defines Parliament as the President, the Council of States and the House of the People.
• Article 122 bars courts from inquiring into the proceedings of Parliament.
• Articles 12 to 35 are the Fundamental Rights, 36 to 51 the Directive Principles and 51A the Fundamental Duties.

Common traps

• Article 51A is one article, not a range, so an option that gives a single article cannot answer a question about a whole institution.
• Part IV and Part IVA sound alike but are the Directive Principles and the Fundamental Duties respectively.
• State legislatures are a different block, at Articles 168 onwards, so a range in the 160s is not about Parliament.
