•It will be easy to understand articles when we categorise those in parts. Suppose if there is asked question-related to emergency provision and options are given like that article 351, 357, 361 and 359 here we can confuse what is correct but if we have learnt Part and know what articles included in the part confusion will be lessened. If we will know Emergency provisions are included in part 18 with articles 352-360 then it will be easy to solve the question and according to the question we will eliminate the option of article 351 and 361 because we know that emergency provisions are included only from 352 to 360

AS A QUESTION, 

Q)Which of the following article talk about "Conduct of business of the Govt of State"?

A)Article 150

B)Article 166

C)Article 180

D)Article 145

After learning parts and included articles in it we will apply it in this question, as we know that the part 6 of the Indian Constitution talk about The State provisions with articles(152-237) and the question is asked upon Govt of State sure that article 145 and 150 cannot be correct because the question is related to State provision not any other in this condition we will reach near correct option, article 166 or 180 and thus the option of article 145 and 150 will be eliminated
