वर दिलेल्या विधान/विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे/आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option D (a and b).

Key Points:
• Under Article 76 of the Constitution, the Attorney General for India (AGI) is the highest law officer of the country:
• Statement a is correct: The Attorney General is appointed by the President of India.
• Statement b is correct: A person to be appointed as AG must be qualified to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court (i.e., a citizen of India who has been a judge of a High Court for 5 years, or an advocate of a High Court for 10 years, or an eminent jurist).
• Statement c is incorrect: He is appointed directly by the President (on the advice of the Union Cabinet), not by the Prime Minister after consultation.
• Statement d is incorrect: He is not a member of either House of Parliament; however, under Article 88, he has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament or any joint sitting without the right to vote.
• Hence, only statements a and b are correct (Option 4).
• Key Takeaway: The Attorney General of India is appointed by the President and must possess the qualifications of a Supreme Court Judge.
