Article 16(2) states that no citizen can be discriminated against in matters of public appointment on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of them. This matches Provision 2. 3. B. Article 29(2) states that no citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution maintained by the State or receiving State aid on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language or any of them. This matches Provision 4. 4. C.

This matches Provision 3. 5. D. Article 31(1) (as it originally stood before the 44th Amendment, though the concept relates to the legal right under Art 300A now) stated that no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.
