Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements I and II.

(I) No Bill can become a law without the assent and the signature of the Prime Minister.

(II) Money Bills can be introduced only on the recommendation of the President.

Options

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) is false, but (II) is true.

• Both (I) and (II) are true, but (II) is not the correct explanation of (I).

• Both (I) and (II) are false.

Answer 1

(I) is false, but (II) is true.

Explanation:

Under the Constitution of India, Statement I is completely false because a Bill requires the assent and signature of the President of India to become a law, not the Prime Minister. On the other hand, Statement II is absolutely true because Article 117(1) explicitly mandates that a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Parliament on the prior recommendation of the President. Since the first statement is incorrect and the second is correct, option (b) represents the right relationship.
