-

-
D.
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct Answer:
D. Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
Considering the statements about the Legislative Council of a State in India:
The Legislative Council cannot be larger than one-third of the Legislative Assembly of that particular State. This is stipulated under Article 171 of the Constitution of India. So, statement 1 is incorrect.
The Governor does not nominate the Chairman of the Legislative Council. Instead, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman are elected by the members of the Legislative Council from among themselves. The Governor only nominates some members of the Council but does not appoint its Chairman. So, statement 2 is incorrect.
Hence, both statements are incorrect.
The correct answer is (d) Neither 1 nor 2.
