Solution

The correct option is C 2 and 3 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: A person who is not a member of the state legislature can be appointed as Chief Minister for six months, within which time, he should be elected to the state legislature, failing which he ceases to be the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister may be a member of any of the two Houses of a state legislature in this regard.

Statement 2 is correct: Before the Chief Minister enters his office, the governor administers to him/her the oaths of office and secrecy.

Statement 3 is correct: The term of the Chief Minister is not fixed and he holds office during the pleasure of the governor. However, this does not mean that the governor can dismiss him at any time. He cannot be dismissed by the governor as long as he enjoys the majority support in the legislative assembly.
