Answer 1

The correct option is C I, II and IV

There are certain matters where concurrent action of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha is required.

1) The Comptroller and Auditor General of India can be removed by the President on the basis of a resolution passed to that effect by both the Houses of the Parliament with a special majority.

2)The proclamation of emergency requires approval by both the Houses of the Parliament.

3)The constitution itself provides for the amendment. An amendment of the Constitution can be initiated only by the introduction of a Bill for this purpose in either house of the Parliament and it must be passed in each House by a special majority.

The Lok Sabha alone can remove the ministry from office by passing a no-confidence motion. It must be supported by 50 members for admission.
