Answer 1

The correct option is B b) 1,2,3only.


Ans: B
The President of India is vested with the following three types of veto power.
1. Absolute Veto (withholding assent to the bill)
2. Suspensive Veto (overridden by the legislature with an ordinary majority)
3. Pocket Veto (taking no action on the bill passed by the legislature)

(qualified veto is a power possessed by the American president and not by the president of India which needs to be overridden by the legislature with a higher majority)
