Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B The President is the nominal head of the state.
C President of India represents the nation but does not rule the nation.

The constitution of India provides India a parliamentary system of government. Unlike in U.S.A., the President of India is the nominal head of the state. He is not the executive head. Nonetheless, he/she is the symbol of the nation, and all decisions of the nation are finalised on his approval only.
