State does not recognize any religion as a state religion c. Democracy 3. A form of government which gets its authority from the will of the people
Correct Answer
(A) a-1, b-2, c-3
Explanation
Solution: First, let's define the key terms: Republic: A republic is a form of government where the head of state is not a hereditary monarch (i.e., not a king or queen who inherits the position). The power rests with the elected representatives of the people. Secular: A secular state is one that does not officially endorse or favor any particular religion. It maintains neutrality in religious matters and ensures equal rights for all religions. Democracy: A democracy is a system of government where supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected representatives under a free electoral system. Now, let's match the terms in List I with their corresponding definitions in List II: a. Republic - 1. Head of the State is not a hereditary monarch: This is a correct match. The definition of a republic directly states that the head of state is not a hereditary monarch. b. Secular - 2. State does not recognize any religion as a state religion: This is also a correct match. A secular state's defining characteristic is its non-endorsement of any specific religion. c. Democracy - 3. A form of government which gets its authority from the will of the people: This is the correct match. The definition accurately describes the core principle of democracy: that power originates from the consent of the governed. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: a-1, b-2, c-3
[#3502] Who elects the Vice President of India
Correct Answer
(B) Both Houses of Parliament
Explanation
Solution: Vice President of India: The Vice President is the second-highest office in the Indian government, primarily serving as the Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). Election of the Vice President: The Vice President of India is elected by an electoral college comprising members of both Houses of Parliament – the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People). Correct Answer: B - Both Houses of Parliament This is the correct answer because the Constitution of India explicitly states that the Vice President is elected by the members of both Houses of Parliament through a secret ballot. Each member gets one vote. Why other options are incorrect: Option A (House of the People): Incorrect. While the Lok Sabha (House of the People) is a part of the electoral college, it alone does not elect the Vice President. The Rajya Sabha's members also participate in the election process. Option C (Council of States): Incorrect. Similar to option A, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is only one part of the electoral college and cannot elect the Vice President on its own. Option D (Both Houses of Parliament and state legislatures): Incorrect. State legislatures are not involved in the election of the Vice President. The electoral college is solely comprised of the members of both Houses of Parliament.
