-
D.
Neither 1nor 2
Correct Answer:
D. Neither 1nor 2
Explanation:
The correct information is:
The Executive Power of the Union of India is vested in the President, not the Prime Minister. The President is the constitutional head and exercises executive power either directly or through officers subordinate to him, under Article 53 of the Constitution. The Prime Minister is the head of the Council of Ministers and exercises executive authority as the leader of the government, but the formal executive power is vested in the President.
The Prime Minister is not the ex officio Chairman of the Civil Services Board. The Civil Services Board, which deals with the assignment and management of civil servants, is chaired by the Cabinet Secretary, not the Prime Minister.
Therefore, both statements are incorrect.
The correct answer is (d) Neither 1 nor 2.
