Q. Which of the following statements are correct about the Vice President of India?

Select the correct answer using the codes given below

• A. 1 and 2 only
• B. 2 and 3 only
• C. 1 and 3 only
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Statements 1 and 3 are correct: One of the qualifications for a candidate contesting for the Vice-president election is that He should not hold any office of profit under the State. But as the Vice-President’s office is not an office of profit, he can contest the next elections for the same office again.

Statement 2 is correct: There is no bar on the number of times the same person gets elected for the office of Vice-President. For example, Dr S. Radhakrishnan was elected for a second term also.
