Which one of the following conclusions based on the above statements is correct? (a) All three statements are correct . (b) There is no correct statement . (c) There are two correct statements that include statement 3 . (d) There is only one correct statement.

Explanation
The correct answer is (b), meaning there is no correct statement because all three assertions are textually false. Article 393 explicitly states that 'This Constitution may be called the Constitution of India'. Article 395 explicitly handles repeals, stating that the Indian Independence Act, 1947, and the Government of India Act, 1935, are repealed. Article 394 explicitly sets the commencement date, noting that the remaining provisions of the document shall come into force on the twenty-sixth day of January, 1950, which is referred to as the commencement of this Constitution.
