Explanation
The correct answer is A because each article matches its specific constitutional provision as follows:
A. Article 16(2) matches with 2: This article guarantees that no citizen shall be discriminated against in respect of any employment or office under the State on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, or residence.
B. Article 29(2) matches with 4: This article ensures that no citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution maintained by the State or receiving aid out of State funds on grounds only of religion, race, caste, language, or any of them.
C. Article 30(1) matches with 3: This provision gives all minorities, whether based on religion or language, the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
D. Article 31(1) matches with 1: This article stated that no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law. While Article 31 was later repealed as a Fundamental Right, it matches this specific description in the context of the question.
Therefore, the correct sequence is 2-4-3-1.
