Answer 1

R and S

Explanation:

Statements R (salaries cannot be reduced) and S (resignation letter goes to the President) are true constitutional facts. Statement P is wrong because a judge can be removed via impeachment for misconduct. Statement Q is wrong because retired judges can still practice in the Supreme Court and other High Courts.
