Q. With reference to the Antiquities and Art Treasures Act, 1972, which of the following are included in the definition of antiquity?

1. Any article related to religion, customs, or politics in bygone ages
2. Any coin, sculpture, painting, or epigraph
3. Any article detached from a building or cave
4. Any manuscript of scientific, historical, literary or aesthetic value in existence for not less than 100 years

Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1, 2 & 3
Notes: The Antiquities and Art Treasures Act, 1972 defines antiquity to include: any article illustrative of religion, customs, or politics in bygone ages; any coin, sculpture, painting, or epigraph; and any article detached from a building or cave. Manuscripts are included if they are at least 75 years old, not 100, so statement 4 is incorrect.
