Model Answer

The correct answer is (C) 22.

The Indian Constitution recognises 22 languages as Scheduled Languages, listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.

Explanation

The passage clearly states: "22 languages are now included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution and are therefore called 'Scheduled Languages'." The table in the textbook also lists exactly 22 languages. Note that the figure was 14 originally (at the time of Constitution's adoption) and later increased to 22 — examiners expect the current figure of 22.
