Answer 1

The Correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

The author of this Resolution was Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (1): This statement is incorrect. The Objective Resolution was introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru, not Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on January 22, 1947 (2): This statement is correct. The Objective Resolution was indeed adopted on this date.
The goal of this Resolution was to declare India as a Sovereign, Socialist, Democratic Republic (3): This statement is partially correct. While the resolution did outline the objectives, it did not explicitly declare India as a socialist republic at that time; socialism was later incorporated into the Preamble.
This Resolution later framed as the Preamble of the Indian Constitution (4): This statement is correct. The essence of the Objective Resolution is reflected in the Preamble of the Constitution.
The correct statements in respect of the Objective Resolution are 2 and 4. Thus, the correct answer is Option 2: 2 and 4.
