Question

Which of the following statements about the sessions of Parliament are correct?

P: The President of India summons each house of Parliament.

Q: Each house of Parliament shall meet at least thrice a year.

R: Normally, there are three sessions of Parliament in a year.

S: The speaker presides over the joint sessions of both the Houses of Parliament.

Options

• P and R

• R and S

• Q and R

• R and S

Answer 1

P and R

Explanation:

The President summons each House of Parliament, so P is correct. There are usually three sessions in a year (Budget, Monsoon, Winter), so R is also correct. Q is incorrect because meetings are not fixed at thrice a year, and S is about joint sittings, not sessions.
