Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
Constitution Day is observed every year on 26 November to promote constitutional values among citizens. The Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on that date, but the Drafting Committee chaired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar had actually been constituted much earlier, on 29 August 1947, not on 26 November 1949; hence Statement II is incorrect while Statement I is correct.
