Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Article 74 & 75 says that there shall be a Council of Ministers (CoM's) with the Prime Minister (PM) at the head to aid and advise the President who shall, in the exercise of his functions, act in accordance with such advise. Provided that the President may require the CoM's to reconsider that advice and the President shall act in accordance with the advice retendered.
