Question

Identify the Legislative Powers of the President of India.

P: The President summons and prorogues the Houses of Parliament.

Q: The President can dissolve the Lok Sabha and order fresh elections.

R: The President can nominate two members from the Anglo-Indian Community to the Lok Sabha.

S: The President appoints the Governors of the States.

Options

• R and S

• P and R

• Q and S

• P and Q

Answer 1

P and Q

Explanation:

Because summoning or proroguing Parliament (Statement P) and dissolving the Lok Sabha (Statement Q) are valid legislative powers of the President. The remaining statements are incorrect because the Anglo-Indian nomination (Statement R) has been abolished by the 104th Amendment, and appointing State Governors (Statement S) is an executive power, not a legislative one.
