General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AAll executive actions of the Government of India are taken in the name of the President of India
- BThe President of India appoints a person as Attorney General of India provided she/he is qualified to be a Judge of the Supreme Court or a High Court
- CThe total number of Ministers in the Council of Ministers cannot exceed ten percent of the total number of members of the House of People
- DThe President of India is bound to act as per the advice tendered by the Council of Ministers
Explanation
The 91st Amendment (Article 75(1A)) caps the Council of Ministers at 15% — not ten percent — of the Lok Sabha’s strength, so statement C is not correct. Executive actions are taken in the President’s name (Art 77), the Attorney-General must be qualified as a Supreme Court judge, and the President acts on ministerial advice (Art 74) — all correct.
