A) i, ii & iv are correct
B) i, ii, iii & iv are correct
C) i, ii & iii are correct
D) i & iv are correct
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] The Constitution does not mention either a confidence motion or a no-confidence motion. Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha specifies the procedure for a motion of no-confidence. Any member may give a written notice; the speaker shall read the motion of no-confidence in the House and ask all those persons to rise who favour that the motion be taken up. If there are 50 MPs in favour, the speaker allots a date for discussing the motion. The first NDA government lost such a motion in 1999.
