Solution

The correct option is C 65 years
The Chief justice and the other judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President to work till they attain 65 years of age. Although they are appointed by the President but their services can not be terminated by him. They can resign from the post of their own accord whenever they like.
But if a judge of the Supreme Court is found guilty of misusing his powers or of acting against the provisions of the constitutions, he can be impeached and relieved of his office.
