Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
There is no explicit mention of a No-Confidence motion in the Constitution of India. But, Article 75 of the Constitution says that the council of ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. It means that the ministry stays in office so long as it enjoys the confidence of the majority of the members of the Lok Sabha. In other words, only the Lok Sabha can remove the ministry from office by passing a no-confidence motion. The motion needs the support of 50 members to be admitted. So both the statements are correct.
