    B 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) of India (1966–1970) recommended the setting up of two special authorities designated as ‘Lokpal’ and ‘lokayukta’ for the redressal of citizens’ grievances. Hence statement 1 is correct. • Article 315 to 323 contains provisions related to the Union Public Service Commission but planning commission and vigilance commission are not formed under the Articles of Indian Constitution. • Planning Commission is non - Constitutional and non-Statutory body. • Vigilance Commission is statutory body established by the CVC Act of 2003.
