A. 1955
B. 1960
C. 1970
D. 1980

Answer 1

Hint: In that year, the president of India was Rajendra Prasad. The Prime Minister of India in that year was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Complete answer:
The Ninety-fifth Amendment of the Constitution of India, officially known as The Constitution (Ninety-fifth Amendment) Act, 2009, expanded the hour of reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and depiction of the Anglo-Indians in the Lok Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies for an extra ten years. Article 334 of the Constitution had at first required the booking of picked seats for a stop in 1960, yet this was contacted 1970 by the eighth Amendment. The hour of reservation was loosened up to 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010 by the 23rd, 45th, 62nd, and 79th Amendments exclusively. The 95th Amendment stretched out the time of reservation to 2020. The time of reservation was additionally stretched out to 2030 by the 104th Amendment. The bill of The Constitution (Ninety-fifth Amendment) Act, 2009 was presented in the Rajya Sabha on 30 July 2009 as the Constitution (One Hundred and Ninth Amendment) Bill, 2009 (Bill No. XX of 2009). It was presented by M. Veerappa Moily, at that point Minister of Law and Justice, and tried to change article 334 of the Constitution identifying with reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes and uncommon portrayal of the Anglo-Indian people group in the House of the People and the Legislative Assemblies of the States. Article 334 of the Constitution sets out that the arrangements of the Constitution identifying with the booking of seats for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes and the portrayal of the Anglo-Indian people group by designation in the House of the People and the Legislative Assemblies of the States will stop to have an impact on the termination of the time of a long time from the beginning of the Constitution. As such, these arrangements will stop to have an impact on the 25th of January 2010, if not broadened further. Although the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes have gained significant ground over the most recent sixty years, the reasons which weighed with the Constituent Assembly in creation arrangements as to the previously mentioned reservation of seats and assignment of individuals, have not stopped to exist. It is, thusly, proposed to proceed with the booking for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes and the portrayal of Anglo-Indians by designation for a further time of ten years. The Bill looks to accomplish the above article.

Thus, option (B) is the correct answer.

Note: The bill was discussed and passed by Rajya Sabha on 3 August. It was then bantered by the Lok Sabha on 4 August 2009 and passed on a similar date.
