  1 and 2 only
• B.

• C.
  1 and 3 only
• D.
  3 only

Answer 1

The correct option is D

3 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect.
Private Member bills are the bills introduced by the members of the Parliament other than a Minister. Hence opposition members can also introduce the bill unless the member is not a minister.

Statement 2 is incorrect.
Passage of No-Confidence motion will result in the resignation of the Council of Minister or Government. If a Private member bill is passed, there is no need for the resignation of the Government.

Statement 3 is correct.
Following bills can be introduced in both the houses of Parliament.

1. Ordinary bill
2. Private member bill
3. Constitutional Amendment Bill
4. Financial bill - (II)

Following bills can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha and not in Rajya Sabha.

1. Money Bill
2. Financial bill - (I)
