A Correct answer
Explanation
  1. Article 13 of the Indian constitution states that all laws in force in the territory of India immediately before the commencement of this constitution, in so far as they are inconsistent with the provisions of this part, shall to the extent of such inconsistency, be void. Fundamental rights which are guaranteed by the constitution are permanent in nature. Thus, both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
    1. R is the correct explanation of A. Thus, it is an invalid option.
    2. The fundamental rights are the rights of the individual citizens guaranteed by the constitution. The Parliament cannot take away or abridge any of the fundamental rights, which are sacrosanct or eternal in nature. Thus, R is true.
    3. Any law made in contravention of Part III which guarantees fundamental rights shall, to the extent of the contravention, be void. A is the legal provision under constitution. Hence, it is true.
