Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
In India’s parliamentary model: (1) Ministers (including Cabinet) must be or become Members of Parliament; (2) they remain in office only while they enjoy the confidence of the Lok Sabha (collective responsibility). The Cabinet is headed by the Prime Minister (Head of Government), not by the President (Head of State), so statement 3 is wrong. Thus only 1 and 2 are implied institutionally.
