पुढील विधानांचा अभ्यास करा.
i. मंत्रिमंडळ राष्ट्रपतींची मर्जी असे पर्यंत अधिकारावर रहाते.
ii. मंत्रिमंडळ लोकसभेत बहुमताच्या जोरावर अधिकारावर रहाते.

The correct answer is Option C (i and ii both are correct).

Key Points:
• Tenure and Accountability of Council of Ministers (Article 75):
• Statement i is correct: Under Article 75(2) of the Constitution, *"The Ministers shall hold office during the pleasure of the President."* This constitutes individual responsibility and formal legal tenure.
• Statement ii is correct: Under Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. In parliamentary practice, the 'pleasure of the President' is bound by whether the Ministry enjoys majority support in the Lok Sabha. The President cannot dismiss a Prime Minister or ministry as long as it commands a majority in the Lok Sabha.
• Both statements accurately reflect the constitutional law and parliamentary conventions.
• Hence, Option (3) i and ii both are correct is the right answer.
• Key Takeaway: The Council of Ministers holds office during the President's pleasure (Art 75(2)) while practically dependent on Lok Sabha majority.
