Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: The Vice-President is not directly elected but by an electoral college consisting of all the members of Parliament i.e. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Hence there is no role for the state legislatures in his election.

Statement 2 is incorrect: All doubts and disputes in connection with the election of the VicePresident are inquired into and decided by the Supreme Court whose decision is final.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The election of a person as Vice-President cannot be challenged on the ground that the electoral college was incomplete (vacant).
