Solution
According to the constitution, The Prime Minister is appointed by the President of India. In actual practice, however, the choice of the President in the appointment of Prime Minister is limited. He appoints only that person as Prime Minister who is the leader of the party or coalition of parties having an absolute majority in House of the people.
In case no party has an absolute majority in the house of the people, the president can appoint any person as Prime Minister who is his opinion, is able to form a stable government.
The person to be appointed as Prime Minister must be a member of either house of parliament.
