'सार्वजनिक उपक्रम समिती' बाबत खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या :
(a) तिची स्थापना तत्कालीन अर्थमंत्री जॉन मथाई यांच्या शिफारशीनुसार 1950 साली झाली.
(b) सध्या या समितीत 15 सदस्य आहेत (लोकसभेतून 10 आणि राज्यसभेतील-5).

(d) घटनात्मकदृष्ट्या या समितीचे अहवाल हे शासनावर बंधनकारक असतातः
वरीलपैकी कोणते विधान/ने बरोबर आहे/त ?

The correct answer is Option D (None of the above).

Key Points:
• Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) Composition and Rules:
• Statement (a) is INCORRECT: Created in 1964 on the recommendation of the Krishna Menon Committee (John Mathai recommended the post-independence Estimates Committee in 1950).
• Statement (b) is INCORRECT: While originally having 15 members, since 1974 COPU consists of 22 members (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha).
• Statement (c) is INCORRECT: By convention and rule, the Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker strictly from amongst the members of the Lok Sabha only; a Rajya Sabha member cannot be appointed Chairman.
• Statement (d) is INCORRECT: Parliamentary committee recommendations are purely advisory in nature and never legally or constitutionally binding on the government.
• Therefore, NONE of the statements are correct (Option 4).
• Key Takeaway: COPU was set up in 1964 (Krishna Menon Committee); has 22 members (15 LS + 7 RS), its chair is strictly from Lok Sabha, and its reports are advisory.
