Solution
Q and R
Explanation:
The Vice-President of India holds office for a term of five years (Statement Q) and can be removed from office through a resolution process, which school textbooks classify under the broad term impeachment (Statement R). Statement P is wrong because the Vice-President is the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, not the Lok Sabha. Statement S is wrong because they do not get a salary as the Vice-President, but rather receive it in their capacity as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
