R: Is a citizen of India.

S: Is a member of a Political Party.

Options

• Q and R

• P and R

• S and R

• P and Q

Answer 1

Q and R

Explanation:

The statements Q and R are the only valid qualifications listed under Article 58 of the Constitution. Statement R is correct because the candidate must be a citizen of India, and Statement Q is correct because they must be qualified for election as a member of the Lok Sabha. The remaining statements are incorrect because the minimum required age is thirty-five years (not twenty-five), and a candidate does not need to belong to any political party.
